What happened after Food Paradise?

In the 'Chow Down Meat Town' episode (S11E13), the show visited Southern Hot Chicken & Sandwiches, a fried-chicken restaurant in St. Louis, Missouri. The restaurant's own site credits a team of chefs, including the pitmaster from Pappy's Smokehouse, with developing Southern's fried-chicken marinade and breading, and describes Southern as having been one of St. Louis's most anticipated restaurant openings in 2015. According to Google Places, the business listing for Southern is marked permanently closed. The restaurant's website still loads, but checked on 2026-09-08 it carried no ordering widget and no content newer than the 2015 opening-era text described above, so it does not indicate current operation; per the site-check evidence, an old site that still loads is not treated as proof a business remains open. No specific closure date attributable to a named source was found in the evidence reviewed.
