What happened after Food Paradise?
The 2012 episode "Hamburger Paradise 2: The Double-Decker" featured Wild Bubba's Wild Game Grill, a roadside restaurant outside Austin known for burgers made from exotic meats such as longhorn, antelope, wild boar, elk, venison, yak, and occasionally kangaroo, alongside more familiar beef options. The grill operated out of a rural stand on FM 812 in Del Valle, Texas, an area sometimes referenced under the nearby Elroy community. A Yelp listing updated in January 2026 marks the business permanently closed, and Google Places lists the same closed status for the address. The restaurant's Facebook page was still reachable in a check on 2026-09-08, though it returned only generic embed code rather than current post content.
