What happened after Food Paradise?

Food Paradise's "All You Can Meat" episode (fp-s17e6) featured Kelly's Roast Beef, a regional fast-food restaurant chain, at its Saugus, Massachusetts location on Broadway, known for roast beef sandwiches, lobster rolls, and other seafood. According to Wikipedia, revised 2026-07-11, the chain was founded in 1951 in nearby Revere, Massachusetts, by partners Frank V. McCarthy and Raymond Carey, who named the business after a mutual friend, Thomas Kelly, rather than themselves, and it later added drive-thru service and items like chicken fingers to compete with national chains. The Saugus location's own website, kellysroastbeef.com, listed the restaurant's regular hours and noted the Broadway location was scheduled to close for renovations on 2026-09-07 and reopen on 2026-09-12. A Yelp listing for the same Broadway address, updated in September 2026, continued to show customer reviews and photos of the restaurant.
