What happened after Food Paradise?

Food Paradise's 'Sturgis' Most Tasty' episode featured Easyriders Saloon, a biker bar on Junction Avenue in downtown Sturgis, South Dakota, for its rally-crowd food and drink scene during the annual motorcycle rally. According to Cycle Source Magazine, Iron Horse Saloon — a bar and concert venue with roots stretching back more than 30 years to Daytona Beach, Florida — opened in 2016 in the same building that had previously housed Easyriders Saloon.
