What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?
Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives' first episode, 'Classics' (aired 2007-04-23), featured Brint's Diner, a comfort-food diner on East Lincoln Street on Wichita, Kansas's east side, known for chicken-fried steak and an "ultimate skillet" loaded with eggs, ham, sausage, fries, onions, and peppers, according to Wikipedia (revised 2026-07-11). According to Wikipedia, the diner closed permanently in October 2014. Wichita By E.B. reported that a later version of the diner, operating under new operators, closed again with a last day of business on April 17, 2021, so the space could become Double Barrel Bar & Grill. No source found for this record shows a business operating under the Brint's Diner name at that address since that April 2021 closure.
