What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives sampled this Greek restaurant's char-grilled octopus, lamb tacos, chicken gyros, and spanakopita during its 2014 "International Family Style" episode, according to DinersDriveInsDivesLocations.com. Aristo's Greek Restaurant & Cafe operated on 1300 East in Salt Lake City for 16 years, building a following for its Greek street food and mezze plates. According to Salt Lake Magazine, Aristo's served its last customers on April 27, 2019, closing permanently after that Saturday night. Gastronomic Salt Lake City, publishing the day before on April 26, 2019, listed octopus, lamb tacos, lamb shank, and mezze plates among the dishes patrons came out for during the restaurant's final days. A Wikipedia infobox separately lists the restaurant's status as closed, consistent with both news accounts, though Wikipedia itself was not used as a source for this record.
