What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives? 2 episodes

Part 1 — Season 23, Episode 16 Aired

On the 'Ultimate Turkey Fest' compilation special, Guy Fieri revisited the Alpine Steakhouse & Butcher Shop, a family-run Sarasota spot. The turkey-themed segment centered on the steakhouse's turducken, a turkey stuffed in stages with andouille sausage, duck and chicken and roasted for roughly twelve hours. Fieri later returned to film with the Rebhan family for the spinoff series 'Triple D Nation,' according to an AOL report on the visit.

Part 2 — Season 2, Episode 7 Aired

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives featured Alpine Steakhouse in the "Talkin' Turkey" episode, which aired 2007-11-10, highlighting the restaurant's TurDucKen. Alpine Steakhouse is a family-owned steakhouse, butcher shop, and specialty grocery run by the father-son team of Mark and Matt Rebhan in Sarasota, Florida, operating since 1975. A check of the restaurant's own website, alpinesteak.com, on 2026-09-07 showed a live homepage banner listing current weekly hours, an active phone number, and an email contact address. The site also stated the business is family owned and operated and that its meats are never frozen and are hand cut in house. The site also listed the restaurant among past "Best of Sarasota" readers' choice award recipients from Sarasota Magazine. No news coverage of a closure, sale, or relocation was found in this check.
