What happened after Food Paradise?
Food Paradise's "Barbecue Paradise 2: Another Rack" (2012, season 4) featured Germantown Commissary's Memphis-style barbecue, highlighting its pit-smoked pork ribs, pulled pork sandwiches, and roadhouse dining room outside Memphis. The restaurant, now branded as Commissary BBQ, serves Memphis-style barbecue and offers catering, gift cards, and nationwide shipping through Goldbelly. On 2026-09-08, the commissarybbq.com website listed current hours of 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. for the Germantown location and identified a second, newly opened Collierville, Tennessee location on South Houston Levee Road, indicating the business remains active and has expanded since the 2012 episode aired.
