What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate? 2 episodes

Best Thing I Ever Ate, All-Star, Episode 2

The 'Pizza and Burgers' All-Star episode of Best Thing I Ever Ate showcased Fukuburger's Japanese-inspired burgers, the fusion patties that built the brand's reputation after it started as a Las Vegas food truck. Fukuburger has since grown into a small chain of storefronts around the city. Yelp's listing for the Chinatown location at 3429 South Jones Boulevard, updated in July 2026, showed active reviews and photos consistent with day-to-day service. A second Yelp listing for a Buffalo Drive location, updated in August 2026, showed the same pattern of ongoing reviews. A separate Yelp page for an earlier Las Vegas Boulevard address is marked permanently closed, indicating the brand consolidated to its current locations rather than shutting down altogether.

Food Paradise, Season 10, Episode 2

The episode featured Fukuburger's Japanese- and Hawaiian-inspired burgers, including teriyaki- and pineapple-topped patties, from what began as a Las Vegas food truck. The Chinatown storefront location remains active: Fukuburger's own website, checked 2026-09-08, listed working online ordering and Thursday-through-Saturday hours, according to the site.
