What happened after Restaurant Stakeout?

In 'The Place Is a Ghost Town!,' Willie Degel installed hidden cameras inside Roasted Peppers, a casual Latin-influenced American restaurant in Mamaroneck run by brothers Juan and Roberto Lepe. The episode's title spells out the problem his cameras were meant to diagnose: a dining room sitting largely empty even during hours that should have been busy, with customers who did come in not returning. At the staff meeting, Willie laid out what the surveillance showed about service gaps and staff attitude, and pushed the Lepe brothers and their crew to fix the greeting, pacing, and follow-up that had been driving diners away, along with sharpening how the menu was presented. He returned later to see whether the dining room had started filling back in. Roasted Peppers kept operating at its Mamaroneck Avenue address for years after filming, but current online listings mark the restaurant as closed. No dated news article, social media post, or maps update could be found to establish when or under what circumstances it stopped operating, and the restaurant's underlying corporation remains listed as an active New York filing, which reflects only paperwork status rather than whether the physical restaurant is still serving customers. Wikipedia's article on the series notes that it has been described as scripted, citing a 2012 realityblurred.com report that questioned the show's authenticity.
