What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives featured the food truck Chomp Chomp Nation, based in Orange County, California, for the 2013-03-25 episode "Real Deal Roots," spotlighting chef Gina Galvan's Singaporean-inspired street food, including crab cakes and a halal lamb burger. The show listed the truck's home base as Irvine, California, though public records tie the operation to an Anaheim address at 5755 La Palma Avenue. A Yelp listing for that address, updated 2026-06, marks Chomp Chomp Nation as permanently closed. A second listing site, tripledlife.com, likewise shows the business as permanently closed, though neither source gives an exact closure date. No current social media activity or news coverage of the closure was found. Food Network's own restaurant directory also carried a page for the truck, according to foodnetwork.com, separate from the two listings that mark it closed.
