What happened after Food Paradise?
"BBQ Bliss" (S9E9) featured Walker's Southern Style Bar-B-Que, a New Orleans barbecue restaurant known for its Cochon de Lait po'boy, a smoked pork sandwich that gives the business its web address, cochondelaitpoboys.com. The restaurant operates from Lincoln Beach Boulevard in New Orleans East, offering slow-smoked barbecue alongside the signature sandwich. The restaurant's own website, checked in September 2026, read, "Our restaurant is resting, but the smoker isn't," and added that Walker's BBQ was taking catering orders only rather than operating as a sit-down restaurant. Google Places continued to list the business as operational during the same period, though the site itself did not list regular dine-in hours. The website's catering information and menu pages remained active as of the same check.
