couple of things that I saw that may lead you to change your mind about where the instagram "dig site" is...
the room with the digging from instagram https://i.sli.mg/4rSCDc.png and https://i.imgsafe.org/0aab857046.jpg is 100% in CPP. The ceiling, bricks and cinderblock wall all match the back "party room" that JA takes us on a tour of here...Check video recon here with shots of the back "party room" and stop it from 5:29 to 6:03.
You can even see the blue ping pong table folded up in frame 5:50 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKTiUaloDDAYouTube What I noticed that no one has talked about is that the floor is about 3 feet deeper after the renovations. That is an illegal modification to the building. And maybe they did it to make a stage where bands can perform back there as well. Notice how he goes down stairs at around 5:29 and then back up at 5:50.
I think the walk-in freezer could be in the basement of CPP or Bucks. The other stores in that retail development all have basements so why wouldn't CPP in the front half also?
CPP has an extended back section, where the said instagram photos from 1 above are located. That must have been added on after the strip mall was built way back when.
"We don't even have a basement" doesn't mean that his other restaurant, Bucks doesn't technically lease the basement space and make his statement legally accurate at the time he said it. Don't forget JA is surrounded by lawyers in his circles so they come up with this shit all the time to CYA.
The two different buidlings CPP vs. McCoullough were built at different times and with different materials.
That RED beam and the large wood supports on the roof of the instagram photos pretty much match the back party room at CPP. Compare the video when it shows the ceiling of the back party room to the ceiling of the instagram construction project.
Notice the door in the instagram photo and how high up the floor is. They are digging out that floor to lower the overall elevation to increase the floor to celing height of the back party room. That's why he has to walk down the stairs to get to it now. It used to be on basically the same elevation as the rest of the building is what I think.
Also, I think the door that's open in the instagram construction photo could have been moved and that side opening, where OP thinks it leads to CPP could be a side entrance that was bricked over in the final build.
Of course I could be wrong since I've never been there...
there are several red beams - one red beam does not make a location - the elevation has been like that since before Comet - that area used to be 2 story Thai restuarant
the "bricked over" door is CLEARLY seen halfway down the infographic
- it is near the ENTRANCE of Comet not in the back area

Why I don't think its at McCollough
