What happened after Food Paradise?

The 'Meltdown' episode featured a raclette stand at 33-37 W 40th St in Midtown Manhattan, listed in the episode simply as 'Raclette.'

A 2026-09-09 check of the business's website, bakedcheesehaus.com, found the page live with an HTTP 200 response, and the site's server last-modified header was dated 2026-09-05, four days earlier, indicating the site is actively maintained.
