What happened after Food Paradise?

Food Paradise's Minnesota State Fair episode featured Giggle's Campfire Grill, a fairgrounds stand serving campfire-style grilled food and drinks alongside its own private-event and catering business. Giggle's operates at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds in Falcon Heights (listed by Google under a St. Paul address at 1520 Cooper St), and promotes itself beyond the fair through event hosting, apparel sales, and a gallery of past bookings. According to the business's own website, checked 2026-09-09, the site remains live with an active online ordering feature and sections for hosting or booking events, though no specific 2026-dated content or menu update was visible on the page. Google Places lists the business as temporarily closed, consistent with normal seasonal status for a fairgrounds vendor operating primarily during the annual fair.
