What happened after Food Paradise?

"The Last Food Frontier" (S15E1) featured Turnagain Arm Pit BBQ, a barbecue restaurant on the Old Seward Highway in Anchorage, Alaska. Google's Places record lists the business as "Turnagain Arm Pit BBQ" at 3637 Old Seward Highway, a name rendered slightly differently, as "Turn Again Armpit BBQ," in the site's own archived page title, and lists the business's status as permanently closed. A check of the restaurant's former domain, turnagainarmpitbbq.com, on 2026-09-08 found the site no longer describing a restaurant: the page, still titled "Turn Again Armpit BBQ" and carrying a 2026 copyright notice, now consists of unrelated Indonesian-language content promoting online slot and roulette gambling sites, with no restaurant menu, hours, or contact information. The domain's repurposing for unrelated gambling-related content, rather than any restaurant material, indicates the original business no longer controls the site.
