What happened after Food Paradise?

On Food Paradise (Travel Channel)'s "Nacho Nation" episode, the restaurant was featured for its bulgogi nachos, a Korean-Mexican fusion dish combining street-taco toppings with Korean flavor. The business, opened by chef Tomas Lee, is a Korean taqueria on Collier Road in Atlanta's Underwood Hills area; the show listed it under the "Takorea" name, though the location's own website and current listings identify it as Hankook Taqueria, part of the same Takorea restaurant group operating under mytakorea.com. Since the episode, a 2026-09-08 check of the restaurant's website found current posted hours (Monday 11am-4pm; Tuesday-Saturday 11am-9pm; closed Sunday) and a working online ordering option. Google Places lists the business as operational as of the same date, with no indication of a closure.
