What happened after Food Paradise?
The episode featured a State Fair of Texas concession identified as Texas Skillet, presumably offering skillet-prepared fair food consistent with the vendor's name, though specific menu details from the show could not be independently confirmed here. A search for the vendor by name returned strongest matches to 'Texas Skillet Too,' a food stand associated with the North Texas Fair & Rodeo in Denton, Texas, a separate fair roughly 40 miles from Dallas's Fair Park, raising the possibility that this record's location or vendor name may not match the State Fair of Texas as listed. No dated listing tying a 'Texas Skillet' concession specifically to the State Fair of Texas grounds turned up during this check. Because the available sources point to a different fair rather than confirming or ruling out a Dallas presence, this record's status is being left unresolved pending a clearer identification of the vendor and its fairgrounds location.
