What happened after Food Paradise?

Food Paradise featured Burro Cheese Kitchen in Austin, Texas, in the season 11 premiere episode "Lay It on Thick," spotlighting the trailer's grilled cheese sandwiches. The business operated as a food truck parked in the Rainey Street entertainment district. Yelp's listing for the Rainey Street location, updated May 2026, marks the business as closed at 80 Rainey St, next to the Google Places location at 75 Rainey St, which separately lists the spot as temporarily closed as of the 2026-09-08 check. An attempt to load the business's website, burrocheesekitchen.com, on 2026-09-08 returned an HTTP 404 error. Yelp also lists a separate Burro Cheese Kitchen location at 1221 S Congress Ave that its own reviews describe as still operating Thursday through Sunday, but that is a different address from the Rainey Street trailer originally featured on the show.
