What happened after Food Paradise?

Duke's Counter serves British-inspired pub fare and burgers from a restaurant and bar near the entrance to the National Zoo, in Washington, DC. The show captured its casual, counter-service format and burger menu. A 2026-09-08 check of the Duke's Grocery restaurant group's site, dukesgrocery.com, returned current 2026 content, listed daily hours, and offered an active online-ordering link, with a last-modified date of 2026-08-28. Yelp's page for Duke's Counter at 3000 Connecticut Ave NW, updated in September 2026, showed continuing customer reviews and photos posted at that address. Together, the two sources place the restaurant in ongoing operation at its original Connecticut Avenue location. The original batch record listed the state as 'WA,' but the business itself sits in Washington, DC, not Washington State.
