What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?
On the "Sauced and Spiced" episode of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, which aired 2010-10-04, Guy Fieri visited Café Rakka for lamb served with a traditional Syrian spiced tomato sauce, according to Food Network's episode synopsis. The Hendersonville, Tennessee restaurant describes itself on its own site as "Artisanal Mediterranean" cooking. According to caferakka.com, checked 2026-09-07, the business operates from 71A New Shackle Island Road, offers online ordering through a linked Square site, and lists hours of 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday, closed Sunday. The same website links out to active Facebook and X accounts under the Café Rakka name and lists a phone number, (615) 824-6264, matching the number found in third-party directory listings, and gives the same New Shackle Island Road location that appeared on the show.
