What the source shows: Yelp listed a page for Bootleggin' Bob's as updated in April 2026, and Feast Magazine described Bootleggin' Bob's as a related-but-separate venue from Bootleggin', the barbecue restaurant the batch line names, so no source ties the located address confidently to the business as featured.

What happened after Food Paradise?

"Chowin' Down the Mississippi River" (S15E3) covered Kansas City-style barbecue on its St. Louis stop. According to Feast Magazine, a restaurant called Bootleggin' served Kansas City-style barbecue in the city's Downtown West neighborhood, and the same ownership group later opened a related bar, Bootleggin' Bob's, which Feast Magazine reported combined St. Louis-style pizza crusts with barbecued meats and a full bar at 3457 Morgan Ford Road in south St. Louis. The batch's location match ties the featured business to that second address, but the two read as distinct venues, and no dated source confirms which one aired. Yelp listed a page for Bootleggin' Bob's as updated in April 2026, but the website given for this record, bootlegginbobs.com, did not respond during a check on 2026-09-08. Given the naming overlap between the two related venues, this record could not be matched with confidence to a single, verifiable business.
