What happened after Mystery Diners?
On 'Vicious Valets,' the Mystery Diners episode that aired 2016-01-06, Kitty, the owner of Breuckelen Colony, a Brooklyn restaurant, told Charles Stiles she had received complaints about the valet service and asked him to investigate. Stiles's undercover investigators worked alongside the valet staff and reported finding an unauthorized car-washing operation being run on the side. The owner reviewed the findings, removed the staff responsible, and, consistent with the show's usual format, was advised to add oversight of the valet stand going forward. Wikipedia's article on Mystery Diners, citing its sources, notes the show discloses that some scenes are staged or re-enacted, and a television critic has called several of its scenarios implausible.
According to a Yelp listing for the address updated September 2026, the restaurant, later operating simply as Breuckelen at 268 Clinton Street in Brooklyn, is no longer open, and the site lists the New American restaurant as closed. The address supplied for this record's location data pointed instead to an unrelated whiskey and gin producer several miles away; the correct address for the featured restaurant was found through further research and geocoded through the U.S. Census Bureau's geocoder to 268 Clinton Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201, and that corrected address, rather than the distillery's, is used for this record going forward.
