What happened after Food Paradise?

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives' 'Taste of the Town' episode featured Duff's Famous Wings for the Buffalo-style chicken wings that have made it a longtime rival to the Anchor Bar, the Buffalo establishment credited with inventing the wing. According to Wikipedia, the restaurant opened in 1946 under founder Louise Duffney and took the Duff's Famous Wings name in 1985 once wings became its signature draw; it has since grown to multiple Buffalo-area locations plus outposts in Rochester, the Toronto area, and the Dallas suburb of Southlake. The Amherst, New York location on Sheridan Drive is listed as operating in Google's business records, though the restaurant's own website did not load during a 2026-09-08 check, returning a server timeout rather than page content.
