What happened after Food Paradise?

Food Paradise's 'More Bite for the Buck' episode (season 13, episode 13) featured The Pantry, a restaurant on Cerrillos Road in Santa Fe that its own website dates to 1948, among the episode's value-priced dining stops. The site describes itself as a long-running local meeting place, lists community-partner information, and provides an online-ordering option. Google Places listed The Pantry as operational on 2026-09-08. A check of pantrysantafe.com the same day found the site loading normally with the ordering feature active, though the page also carried an older reference to 2018 elsewhere in its text, suggesting parts of the site had not been fully refreshed since that year. No closure, sale, or relocation notice was found in the sources reviewed for this record.
