What happened after Food Paradise?

The episode featured La Fogata's Mexican combination plates, tacos, and sopes served from its Van Nuys Boulevard location in Sherman Oaks. The restaurant's own website was last modified 2026-09-09 and lists current hours -- Thursday 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., Friday 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., Saturday 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Sunday from 9 a.m. -- alongside an active online ordering system and an e-gift-card page. An older '2010' date appears elsewhere on the page, but the site's day-specific current hours, live ordering cart, and recent modification date are treated here as more reliable signs of ongoing operation than that legacy year.
