What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

On Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives episode 'Sloppy, Saucy and Stuffed' (aired 2023-07-07), Guy Fieri visited Anita's Kitchen Gourmet Indian Food, a food cart in Bend, Oregon serving Indian dishes built around the owner's own spice blends. The cart operated from a lot on SE 3rd Street in downtown Bend after previously operating from other sites around town. Google Places lists the business status as temporarily closed. A September 2026 check of the cart's website, anitaskitchenbend.com, found the domain no longer active and instead parked for sale through Namecheap.

According to Yelp, a separate listing for Anita's Kitchen carrying dozens of reviews was updated in August 2026 and labels the business closed. Together, the parked domain and the recent Yelp update point to the food cart no longer operating at its featured Bend location.
