What happened after Food Paradise?

Sazon New World Cuisine was featured in the episode "Route 66" (S12E2), which highlighted this Santa Fe, New Mexico restaurant for its house-made moles and a menu blending Mexican and New World ingredients and techniques. The restaurant, known on its current site simply as Sazon, operates at 221 Shelby Street and offers a dedicated wine and spirits list alongside tequila tastings and mole-focused events. According to the restaurant's own website, sazonsantafe.com, the server last modified the page on 2026-08-26, and the site continues to advertise online ordering and gift certificates.

The page's own displayed copyright year reads 2024, a year behind the more recent server modification date, so this update treats the August 2026 server timestamp as the stronger evidence of ongoing activity. No independent third-party source was reviewed to corroborate current status.
