What happened after Food Paradise?

The episode featured Unicorn's carnival-themed corn dog menu, including a vegetarian option, alongside the bar's signature Unicorn Balls, described as fried potato with melted cheese. The bar occupies a spot on Seattle's Capitol Hill, decorated with carnival and arcade imagery and stocked with pinball machines, novelty cocktails and drag-show programming. Yelp's listing for the address, updated 2026-08, shows more than 1,280 reviews at 1118 E Pike St. The Infatuation's review calls Unicorn a theme-bar destination built around a carnival-and-arcade atmosphere, and lists posted hours of Sunday-Thursday 5pm-1:45am and Friday-Saturday 2pm-1:45am.

Food Paradise's 'Deep Fried Paradise 4' episode featured Unicorn, a carnival-themed bar on East Pike Street in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood known for corndogs and other fried bar food. The business's website organizes its offerings under sections including Menus, Photos, and Events, and lists a 'Unicorn Pride' program tied to the neighborhood's LGBTQ+ community. According to the bar's website, checked 2026-09-09, it included an active online ordering cart and posted a customer-facing notice stating that street parking remained available out front during an ongoing construction project outside the building. Google Places, checked the same day, listed the business as operational. The site listed a food menu alongside cocktail offerings, consistent with the venue's identity as a bar rather than a full-service restaurant.
