What happened after Food Paradise?

An S17E10 episode titled "The Comfort Zone" featured Palookaville Fine Foods, an Avondale Estates diner serving carnival-style fare including mini corn dogs, tater tots, burgers, and specialty milkshakes. The restaurant opened in its Tudor-style village storefront on Halloween 2013, according to Marie, Let's Eat!, a local food blog that visited soon after opening. The diner operated from 17 N Avondale Rd in Avondale Estates, GA. A Yelp listing for that address, updated August 2026, marked the location closed, and Google Places, checked 2026-09-08, listed the same address as permanently closed. A food truck operating under the Palookaville name continued serving some menu items after the storefront closed, according to a Shumacher.com business-for-sale listing for the property. That same listing showed a Decatur-area phone number, (404) 500-1785, tied to the now-closed location.
