What happened after Food Paradise?

Food Paradise's "Deli Paradise" episode (S4E17, 2013) featured Canter's Delicatessen, spotlighting the all-hours Fairfax District deli's lox and bagels, corned beef, and matzoh ball soup. According to Wikipedia (revised 2026-09-01), the deli opened in 1931 in Boyle Heights before relocating to the Fairfax District, has long been a celebrity hangout, and was ranked by the Financial Times in 2021 among the world's 50 greatest food stores, a distinction that has followed the business into its current operation. A Yelp listing updated in September 2026 and an OpenTable listing both showed Canter's Deli operating at 419 North Fairfax Avenue with posted current hours, including Saturday 24-hour service and closures only on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, matching the round-the-clock service the deli was known for on the show.
