What happened after Food Paradise?
Deep Fried Paradise 2: Extra Crispy featured Ye Olde King's Head, a British-style pub and restaurant on Santa Monica Boulevard near the Santa Monica Pier, known for fried pub fare such as fish and chips. The pub has operated at its Third Street Promenade-area location in Santa Monica, California for decades, alongside an attached gift shop and bakery. A Yelp listing for the business, updated August 2026, shows current hours, thousands of accumulated reviews, and continued activity at the same address. A direct check of the pub's own website, yeoldekingshead.com, returned an HTTP 403 error during this check and could not be used to confirm current details, though the site's title and other search listings, including OpenTable, still reference the business as active.
