What happened after Food Paradise?

The episode featured Smoke Modern Barbeque's smoked plates, including pulled pork, beef brisket, herb-and-garlic smoked chicken, wood-grilled salmon, and Louisiana shrimp and grits, alongside sides like deviled eggs and desserts such as banana pudding and chocolate bread pudding. Smoke Modern Barbeque is a casual, full-service barbecue restaurant and bar that first opened in Basalt, Colorado, in 2007, blending Cajun and Creole flavors with Southern comfort food. The restaurant's own website, checked in September 2026, lists menus and hours only for a Glenwood Springs, Colorado location. Yelp and the local dining guide eatBasalt both list the original Basalt address as closed, indicating the restaurant relocated from Basalt to nearby Glenwood Springs, roughly twenty miles away in Colorado's Roaring Fork Valley, sometime after the show's original visit.
