Since 2007, the Travel Channel show Food Paradise has taken viewers on a tour of some of America’s best places to eat.
Over the last 10 years, the show has featured more than 600 restaurants in all lower 48 states. Each episode of the show has a theme such as “Diners,” “Bars,” “Drive-Thrus,” etc. that focuses on a specific food specialty.
Many Las Vegas restaurants have been featured on Food Paradise and one special episode even featured The Best in the West Nugget Rib Cook-Off, America’s biggest and best free-entry barbecue festival held annually in Sparks, NV.
FUN FACT: Nevada is the 15th most visited state across the 30+ food related television shows with 108 featured restaurants throughout the state.
A few of the more notable restaurants that have been featured on the show include LAVO, The Buffet at Bellagio, and Heart Attack Grill in Downtown Las Vegas.
Most recently, Food Paradise was in Las Vegas filming at Top Golf, a premier entertainment and event venue offering food, drinks and fun point-scoring golf games for all skill levels. This will mark the 14th Las Vegas eatery to be featured on the show.
