What happened after Food Paradise?
The Food Paradise episode "Flame On!" (S19E9) featured Home Team BBQ, a barbecue restaurant built around slow-smoked, wood-fired meats served in a casual, order-at-the-counter format. The Charleston location the episode visited sits on Williman Street in the city's downtown, one of several Home Team BBQ locations that also include Mount Pleasant, West Ashley, and Sullivan's Island. In September 2026, the restaurant's own website, hometeambbq.com, carried a 2026 copyright notice, a live online-ordering system, and a promotion for a twentieth-anniversary event at its Refinery location dated for September 26. Google Places separately lists the Downtown Charleston location's business status as operational, matching the current content published on the restaurant's own site. The same site also lists a full-service catering program with seasonal menus, alongside links for merchandise and a company newsletter.
