What happened after Food Paradise?

180 Xurros & Xocolata appeared in the 'Donut Shop' episode as a Portland shop specializing in xurros, a Barcelona-style variant of churros hand-worked from dough and fried to order in a fryer imported from Spain, according to Wikipedia. The business opened in 2016 as Portland's first dedicated churro shop, founded by Cristina Baez, Jose Chesa, and David Martin, who also ran the Barcelona-style tapas restaurant Ataula, according to Wikipedia. 180 Xurros operated on Broadway in northeast Portland for about two years before relocating downtown next to Ataula, where it had planned to reopen in February 2020 before permanently closing amid the COVID-19 pandemic, according to Wikipedia. Yelp listings for the business, updated 2026-04 and 2026-08, both continue to mark it permanently closed, and neither listed address currently operates under the 180 Xurros name.
