What happened after Food Paradise?

Food Paradise's "Sweet Home Chicago" episode featured The Frontier, a gastropub in Chicago's West Town neighborhood known for whole-animal butchery and wild-game dishes. According to Wikipedia, the restaurant opened on February 10, 2011, is led by chef Brian Jupiter, and is owned by Mark Domitrovich. A Yelp listing for the restaurant, updated September 2026, lists the restaurant as open, with posted hours of Wednesday and Thursday 5:00pm-10:00pm, Friday 4:00pm-11:00pm, Saturday 12:00pm-11:00pm, and Sunday 12:00pm-4:00pm. A direct check of the restaurant's own website (thefrontierchicago.com) on 2026-09-08 returned an access-restricted response rather than page content, so the Yelp listing served as the current-status source used here.
