What happened after Food Paradise?

On Food Paradise's 'BBQ Paradise 3' (S5E2), Micklethwait Craft Meats' trailer setup was the focus, featuring slow-smoked brisket, pork ribs, and sausage served straight from the smoker in classic Central Texas style, sold by the pound with butcher paper and no frills. The operation started as a barbecue trailer in Austin, Texas, built around whole-muscle meats cooked low and slow over post oak, a format that let it grow a following without a traditional dining room. According to the business's own website, it now operates under the name Micklethwait BBQ. A site check on 2026-09-08 found the website active with current, 2026-dated content and no expired or outdated material anywhere on the page. Google Places also listed the business as operational at 4602 Tanney St, Austin, with a working link to the same site, craftmeatsaustin.com, matching the website's own information.
