What happened after Food Paradise?

In the 'Surf and Turf' episode (fp-s9e13), Surf and Turf Truck was featured for its lobster rolls and other surf-and-turf combinations served from a mobile food truck. Surf and Turf Truck operated as a family-run food truck based in Tampa, Florida, taking catering inquiries by email. A Google Places listing shows the truck's business status as permanently closed. The truck's own website, which carries a 2026 copyright notice, still displays a notice saying the operation closed for the rest of the summer for a staff member's maternity leave and might return in the fall.
