What happened after Food Paradise?
Food Paradise (Travel Channel) featured Paperboy, a food truck, in the episode 'Street Eats,' which aired February 25, 2018, according to IMDb. Paperboy operated as a mobile food truck serving East Austin at the time of filming, part of the city's broader food-truck-park scene. Since the episode, the business has continued operating under the name Paperboy East at an address on East 11th Street, a few blocks from downtown Austin. On 2026-09-08, the business's website displayed content dated to 2026 and carried the title 'Paperboy,' though it did not show an active online ordering widget at the time of the check. A Google Places listing checked the same day marked the location operational. No closure notice, ownership change, or relocation statement was found for the East 11th Street address as of 2026-09-08.
