What happened after Food Paradise?

On an episode themed 'Lots of Cluck,' Yardbird was featured for its Southern-style fried chicken, the specialty referenced in the restaurant's own website title, 'Southern Restaurant in the USA and Singapore.' The Miami Beach address associated with the episode is 1600 Lenox Ave, per Google Places records. Yardbird's parent website (runchickenrun.com), checked 2026-09-09, listed current restaurant locations in Dallas, Las Vegas, Washington, D.C., Chicago, and Singapore, but did not include a Miami Beach location among them. Google Places separately marks the 1600 Lenox Ave address's business status as permanently closed as of the same 2026-09-09 check. No fresher source describing an open Miami Beach location was found during this review. The website groups all five remaining locations under a single navigation menu labeled 'Location & Menus,' with no separate Miami Beach entry remaining in that list.
