What happened after Food Paradise?

In the Season 9 episode 'Extra Cheesy' (fp-s9e10), the show featured Sauce on the Side, a St. Louis calzone shop built around a simple idea: hand-folded calzones served with the marinara on the side rather than baked in, alongside scratch-made salad dressings. The concept began as a single St. Louis counter-service shop and has since grown into a small regional chain with several area locations. According to the business's website, checked 2026-09-09, the original St. Louis location continues operating with an active online-ordering system for pickup and delivery, plus listed catering, events, and franchise programs. No independent news coverage describing a closure, sale, or relocation of the featured location was found. The chain's growth into a multi-location, franchised business suggests continued investment in the original concept beyond the single shop featured on the show.
