What the source shows: Business's own website (risesouffle.com), reachable 2026-09-21, continues to list only six active locations (Dallas, Fort Worth, The Woodlands, Plano, Southlake, Tulsa) with no Houston location — consistent with the prior closure finding. How we decide a status →

What happened after Food Paradise?

Rise n°2 appeared in the episode 'Lay It on Thick' as a soufflé specialist, part of the rise chain built around what its website calls a 'salon de soufflé,' serving sweet and savory soufflés alongside crepes and other French-inspired dishes. According to risesouffle.com, the brand has operated since 2008, and this outpost sat at 1700 Post Oak Boulevard in Houston, Texas. A Google Places listing marks the Post Oak Boulevard address permanently closed. Checked on 2026-09-08, rise's own website corroborated this: its current location list named only Tulsa, Plano, The Woodlands, Fort Worth, Dallas, and Southlake, with no Houston address among them, even though the site itself remained active, with a working reservation and gift-card ordering system and a 2024 copyright notice. Both the Places listing's permanently-closed marking and the chain's own current site, which omitted a Houston address, were observed on 2026-09-08.
