What happened after Food Paradise?

The episode featured the Berkey Creamery's ice cream, made through Pennsylvania State University's Department of Food Science using milk from the university's own dairy herd, alongside cheese and sherbet produced the same way. According to Wikipedia (revised 2026-08-22), the Creamery was founded in 1865 and is the largest university creamery in the United States, using roughly 4.5 million pounds of milk a year, most of it from a 210-cow herd at the university's Dairy Production Research Center, to produce more than 100 ice cream flavors and about 750,000 hand-dipped cones annually. The operation is based in University Park, Pennsylvania, on Penn State's main campus. According to creamery.psu.edu, checked 2026-09-08, the site carried a 2026 copyright, offered ice cream for order online through a store and account system, and listed a customer phone line and email for the shop. The page content described the Creamery's role as a working dairy-science teaching operation and retail ice cream shop on campus, matching what appeared on the episode.
