What happened after Mystery Diners?

In the 'Cheese-Burglar' episode (aired 2013-04-26), owners Stephanie and Danielle grew concerned about missing register cash at their Miami Beach burger spot, Cheeseburger Baby, and initially suspected a cook on staff, Guillermo, who had a prior conviction, before bringing in Mystery Diners' undercover investigators to confirm what was really happening during a busy dinner shift. Hidden cameras instead showed waitress Krystia pocketing cash from the register herself, then deliberately shifting the blame onto Guillermo whenever the shortfall was noticed, apparently counting on his record to make him an easy target. Confronted with the footage, Krystia admitted what she had done and was let go immediately, while the owners apologized to Guillermo and kept him on staff after the investigation cleared his name and showed he had been handling his own shifts honestly the whole time.

According to Wikipedia's article on the series, citing its sources, Mystery Diners carries an on-screen disclaimer that its events may be staged or re-enacted for dramatic effect and has been described by a television critic as relying on implausible scenarios and unconvincing acting. A Google Places listing checked on 2026-09-08 marked the business permanently closed. Its website, cheeseburgerbaby.net, was still reachable that day but showed no content newer than 2019, no posted hours, and no ordering option anywhere on the page.
