What happened after Food Paradise?

Food Paradise's 'Drive Thru Paradise' (aired 2012) featured Sunrise Biscuit Kitchen's drive-through biscuit sandwiches, highlighting the counter's scratch-made biscuits piled with breakfast and lunch fillings. The shop is a breakfast-and-lunch diner at 1305 E. Franklin St. in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, near the University of North Carolina campus. A 2026-09-08 check of sunrisebiscuits.com found a 2026 copyright date, posted weekend hours (Saturday 6:00am-2:30pm, Sunday 7:00am-2:30pm), and active online ordering covering Chapel Hill pickup, delivery, and nationwide shipping. The same check found a careers page seeking cooks and cashiers. Google's business listing separately marks Sunrise Biscuit Kitchen as operational at the Franklin Street address. Between the current site content and the Google listing, the record points to the shop continuing to operate under its original name at its original Chapel Hill location since the episode aired.
