What happened after Food Paradise?

Food Paradise's 'Bacon Paradise' (S2E1) featured Slater's 50/50, spotlighting its signature 50/50 Burger, a patty of half ground bacon and half ground beef, topped with a fried egg, avocado mash, pepper jack and chipotle-adobo mayo, according to Wikipedia (revised 2026-01-14). The featured location operated as a Slater's 50/50 restaurant on Santa Ana Canyon Road in Anaheim, California. Google Places lists this Anaheim address as permanently closed, and the chain's own current website (slaters5050.com), checked 2026-09-08 and carrying a 2026 copyright, lists active locations in Fresno, San Diego, Torrance, Denver, and two Nevada locations; Anaheim is absent from that list. According to Google Places and the chain's own current site, the Santa Ana Canyon Road restaurant has closed even though the Slater's 50/50 chain continues operating elsewhere.
