What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

In the 'Made to Order' episode (aired 2010-10-25), Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives revisited Bay Way Diner in Linden, New Jersey, the diner where Guy Fieri filmed one of the show's earliest segments. The diner, now operating as Johnny Prince's Famous Bayway Diner at 2019 S. Wood Ave., is known for its Monster Burger, a double-patty burger with bacon and pork roll, and all-day breakfast, according to the show's own locations directory and Tripadvisor's listing for the restaurant.

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives (Food Network) featured Bay Way Diner in Linden, New Jersey, in the July 23, 2007 episode "Diners A-Plenty," where Guy Fieri highlighted the diner's all-day breakfast and comfort-food menu. TripleD Nation reported on 2026-04-27 that the diner has since been taken over and rebranded as Johnny Prince's Bayway Diner at the same 2019 South Wood Avenue address, with the site listing its status as open and describing a menu built around a bacon-and-onion-ring burger, a Philly cheesesteak, and a tri-color pasta special. DinersDriveInsDivesLocations.com, updated 2025-08-28, separately confirms the rename and lists the same address and a current phone number, 908-862-3207. The diner's own domain, johnnyprincesbaywaydiner.net, is listed as its website by both trackers.
