What happened after Food Paradise?

The Food Paradise episode "Howdy, Texas!" featured Komodo Loco, spotlighting its Asian-Southwestern fusion menu of shareable sushi, ramen, and bao buns. Komodo Loco is a restaurant and cocktail bar founded in 2016 by three Denton natives, operating at 109 Oakland St in downtown Denton, according to a Yelp listing for the business. Komodo Loco's own website (komodoloco.com) still displayed older 2017-dated content as of a 2026-09-08 check, but a Yelp listing updated in September 2026 showed active customer reviews and current hours of Monday through Thursday 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. and Friday-Saturday 4 p.m. to 11 p.m., closed Sunday, according to Yelp.
