What happened after Food Paradise?

Food Paradise's "Bodacious Bowls" episode featured Maple Leaf Diner's Canadian-inspired breakfast menu, built around the diner comfort food owner Michael Delaurier grew up with in Windsor, Ontario. According to the restaurant's own website, Maple Leaf Diner opened in September 2015 after Delaurier, an experienced restaurateur, could not find the food he wanted in his wife's hometown of Dallas, Texas. The diner sits in a Preston Road strip center in North Dallas.
