What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?
Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives featured Carena's Jamaican Grille, listed under Chesterfield, Virginia when the episode aired, in "Off the Beaten Path" (aired 2020-01-03), highlighting its authentic Jamaican cuisine served in a casual setting. Google Places locates the restaurant at 7102 Midlothian Turnpike, which falls within Richmond city limits rather than Chesterfield County, though the two jurisdictions meet along that corridor. According to the restaurant's website, which carries a 2026 copyright notice and was last modified on 2026-09-08, the business currently posts weekly hours, including holiday closures for New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, and Thanksgiving, and offers online ordering for lunch, dinner, and happy hour. Google Places lists the business as operational at that address, matching the website's current content. No reporting was found describing any change in ownership or location since the episode aired.
