What happened after Food Paradise?
Food Truck Paradise featured Roman Chewing Candy, the hand-pulled taffy made by the Roman Candy Company, a confectioner in New Orleans, Louisiana's Uptown neighborhood. According to the company's website, the recipe has been passed down through at least four generations of the same family and was historically sold from a horse-drawn cart around the city before the business settled at its current Constance Street storefront. The Roman Candy Company website, checked 2026-09-08, carried an HTTP last-modified header dated the same day and continued to list the Constance Street address and phone number along with a page for ordering candy online. The site's navigation also included pages for merchandise, promotional videos, and company history, though no specific 2026 dates appeared in the visible page text itself.
