What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

On Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives (Food Network), Guy Fieri visited Chomp Chomp Nation, a Singapore-style food truck, for the episode "Fun in the Sun," which aired 2017-07-28, praising a crab cake topped with slaw and spicy ketchup and a halal lamb burger finished with curry yogurt and edamame sprouts. According to Food Network's restaurant directory, the truck was run by husband-and-wife team Robert Zuetell and chef Gina Galvan out of Orange County, California. Google Places lists a related business, Chomp Hub, at 1116 S Bristol St in Santa Ana as operational, but no 2026-dated hours, menu, or review confirms whether Chomp Chomp Nation is still running under that name. Instagram and Facebook pages for the brand remained online, though neither carried a dated post confirming current activity.
