What happened after Food Paradise?
U-Turn BBQ appeared on the episode 'At the Drive-In' (S19E15), which featured a barbecue restaurant in Lafayette, Colorado. According to a Google Places listing checked 2026-09-08, a business at 599 Crossing Dr in Lafayette, recorded under the fuller name uturn bbq and brewery rather than the U-Turn BBQ name used on the episode, is marked permanently closed. No working website was found for the business at the time of the check, and no dated news coverage or social-media post was located confirming whether the closure was a full shutdown or part of a rename or expansion tied to the added brewery wording in the listing. Because only the closed-listing status could be confirmed, with no independent source to clarify the name change, this record rests on a single credible source and the reason for the name difference remains unresolved.
