What happened after Food Paradise?
The 'Meltdown' episode featured a San Antonio restaurant called La Gloria, described in the episode listing only by city with no street address. A web search found that 'La Gloria' is shared by more than one San Antonio restaurant associated with Chef Johnny Hernandez's Grupo La Gloria — including a longstanding location at Pearl and a Dominion-area location that a Yelp listing, updated in July 2026, marks as closed — and the location data supplied for this record pointed instead to a street named 'La Gloria St,' not any of those businesses. Because the available evidence does not establish which La Gloria location the episode actually featured, this record's status is held at unknown pending a more specific address or neighborhood detail from the episode itself. No status claim beyond that is supported by what was found.
