What happened after Food Paradise?

On 'Midway Munchies,' the show featured Grant's Tasti Burgers, spotlighting the vendor's novelty pretzel-bun burger creations at the OC Fair. The stand, run by Lori Southerland, has for years operated alongside its sister stand Tasti Chips in the fairgrounds' Livestock Area, according to past SoCal Restaurant Show coverage. Grant's Tasti Burgers remains listed today as a current food item on the OC Fair's own website, ocfair.com, whose pages were live and current as of a 2026-09-09 check. The Orange County Fair itself continues annually at the 150-acre OC Fair & Event Center in Costa Mesa, with the 2026 fair having run July 17 through August 16. As a fair-season concession rather than a year-round storefront, the stand has no fixed street address of its own.
