What happened after Food Paradise?

The 2012 episode "Hamburger Paradise 2: The Double-Decker" featured The Apple Pan, a counter-only burger stand on Los Angeles's Westside known for its Hickory Burger and Steakburger, along with apple pie topped with vanilla ice cream and banana cream pie, according to Wikipedia. The Apple Pan opened in 1947 and has operated from the same Pico Boulevard counter in the Cheviot Hills/West Los Angeles area ever since, seating diners along a single horseshoe-shaped counter with no reservations taken. A check on 2026-09-08 found the restaurant's own website live with current hours and a working online-ordering link, and Google Places lists the business as operational, indicating The Apple Pan continues to serve customers from its original location.
