What happened after Food Paradise?

"Donut Paradise" (S1E5) featured Cafe Du Monde, the French Quarter coffee stand famous for beignets, square French-style doughnuts dusted heavily with powdered sugar, served alongside chicory coffee au lait. The stand operates from an open-air, green-and-white striped pavilion in the French Market at 800 Decatur Street in New Orleans. A Yelp listing for that location, updated September 2026, shows the cafe operating with current hours of 7:15 a.m. to 11 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 7:15 a.m. to midnight Friday and Saturday, and the business's own website, shop.cafedumonde.com (checked 2026-09-08), lists current locations and hours as well. Cafe Du Monde has expanded to additional New Orleans-area locations, including one in City Park, according to Yelp listings updated in 2026, while the original French Quarter stand continues to serve its signature beignets.
