What happened after Food Paradise? 2 episodes

Part 1 — Season 7, Episode 2

In 'Late Night Paradise,' the show featured Ms P's Electric Cock for its fried chicken sandwiches, served late-night out of a vintage Airstream trailer with a name that played on Austin's irreverent food-truck culture. The trailer built a following on Congress Avenue before CultureMap Austin reported in August 2014 that its owners planned to sell the original trailer and move into a brick-and-mortar space. Community Impact reported in July 2016 that the business was preparing a new location as it kept expanding. The business later operated from several different Austin addresses, including a food-truck court on South Congress Avenue. Yelp's listing for a later Barton Springs Road location was marked permanently closed as of a June 2026 update, and no current Ms P's Electric Cock location was found operating in Austin.

Part 2 — Season 11, Episode 12

In the 'Destination Dining' episode (S11E12), the show visited Ms. P's Electric Cock, a fried chicken restaurant in Austin, Texas. According to Google Places, the business listing for Ms. P's Electric Cock is marked permanently closed. No operating website, active social-media presence, or news coverage for the restaurant was found in the evidence gathered for this record, so no specific closure date can be attributed to a named source beyond the listing itself. No information indicating a rename, relocation, or new ownership at the South Congress Avenue address was found in the sources reviewed. Google Places ties that permanently closed listing to the exact street address of 1101 South Congress Avenue in Austin.
