What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives visited Back Street Bistro in Santa Fe for 'All Kinds of Gobble Gobble' (aired 2013-11-18), a Thanksgiving-themed episode that spotlighted owner David Jacoby's rotating menu of seven to ten homemade soups a day, including his award-winning smoked turkey wild rice soup. Jacoby, nicknamed the Duke of Soup by local press, opened the casual French-inflected bistro in 1994 at 513 Camino de Los Marquez, alongside deli-style sandwiches, salads and in-house desserts. A Yelp listing for the address, updated March 2026, marks Back Street Bistro permanently closed. No dated source located by this check specifies when the closure occurred or who owned the business at the time.
