What happened after Restaurant: Impossible (Food Network)?

On Restaurant: Impossible (Food Network), Robert Irvine traveled to Palm Coast, Florida for the episode "Saving Grace," which aired June 4, 2014, to help Grace's Place Bagels and Deli, a New York-style deli and bagel shop run by owners Grace and Ed Tutak. Before the health-inspection issue described below, the deli had built a following for its bagels and traditional New York-style deli sandwiches, drawing comparisons in customer reviews to delis the owners and longtime patrons remembered from the Northeast. The episode addressed both kitchen operations and the emotional strain the couple described in trying to keep the business running. Irvine's renovation reworked the dining room and streamlined the deli's menu and food-prep systems. Online reviews in the months after the broadcast skewed below average, with customers raising complaints about the restaurant and, separately, about how the televised makeover had been handled. The business ran into a serious operational problem in September 2014, when a health inspection found evidence of rodent activity, prompting a one-day closure order; the shop was allowed to reopen afterward. The Daytona Beach News-Journal reported in a December 12, 2014 article that the deli did not survive a second rodent-related incident in November 2014, at which point it stopped operating. The paper's reporting noted that owners Grace and Ed Tutak attributed the infestation to the building itself and its landlord, while the property owner placed responsibility on the restaurant; the dispute played out partly through a public liquidation sale and social-media posts from the business. Grace's Place Bagels and Deli operated at 1000 Palm Coast Parkway in Palm Coast. Food Network Gossip's own coverage, published December 16, 2014, cited the News-Journal's reporting and confirmed the closure had come after the second inspection issue, consistent with the timeline reported by the newspaper. The deli had operated at its Palm Coast Parkway location for roughly two years before the Restaurant Impossible episode aired.
