What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives visited Arempas for the episode 'Sandwiches and Spice,' which aired 2021-10-22, spotlighting the Salt Lake City restaurant's Venezuelan arepas, a corn-pocket sandwich central to the country's street food. Arempas operates at 350 S State St as a Venezuelan restaurant offering vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options alongside its arepas. According to a Yelp business page updated in September 2026, the listing carries 386 reviews and remains active, and Google Places lists the business as operational as of the 2026-09-08 check. The restaurant's own website returned an HTTP 403 error to an automated check on 2026-09-08, which more likely reflects a bot-blocking measure than a closure, since both the Yelp listing and Google Places independently show the business currently operating.
