What happened after Food Paradise?

The episode featured Johnson's Boucanière's Cajun smoked meats — hickory-smoked boudin, cracklins, and tasso brisket po-boys made using the Johnson family's traditional boucanière smoking method. Johnson's Boucanière is a Cajun restaurant and meat market in Lafayette, Louisiana, run by the children of a family that has smoked meats in the area for generations. On 2026-09-08, the restaurant's website listed current restaurant hours — Friday 10am-3pm, Saturday 8am-3pm, and Sunday 10am-2pm for boudin and barbecue — along with separate Tuesday market hours and a working online-ordering cart, though the page's copyright footer still read 2020. Google Places lists the business as operational at 1111 St. John Street.
