What happened after Food Paradise?

The episode featured Un Bien's Caribbean-style roast pork sandwich, a dish that has drawn national recognition as one of the country's best sandwiches. Two brothers, Lucas and Julian Lorenzo, opened the first Un Bien location in Seattle's Ballard neighborhood in 2015, according to the Seattle-focused outlet Intentionalist. In an interview published 2025-10-07, the owners told Intentionalist the business then ran three Seattle locations, including a 15th Avenue Northwest shop in Ballard matching this record's address, with hours of Wednesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. A site check on 2026-09-08 found the restaurant's own website still live, though without 2026-dated content or a working ordering widget on its homepage.
