What happened after Food Paradise?

Smoqued California BBQ appeared on the episode 'Tasty Twists' (S19E13). The restaurant is a barbecue spot in the Old Towne Orange district of Orange, California, offering smoked meats along with catering packages and dine-in service. On 2026-09-08, the restaurant's website, smoquedcaliforniabbq.com, listed hours that included a specific Independence Day schedule for July 4, and it provided working links for online ordering, catering, and reservations, according to the site. The same page listed a business phone number and a street address of 128 North Glassell Street. A Google Places listing checked the same day recorded the business as operating at that address. The presence of a forward-dated holiday-hours notice indicates the site was being actively maintained for the current year at the time of the check, rather than left unmaintained since a past posting.
