What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

"Succulent Sandwiches" featured Clove & Hoof, a whole-animal butcher shop and restaurant on Broadway in Oakland known for house-butchered meats built into sandwiches and plates. The business opened in 2014 as a full-service butchery and restaurant before shifting toward prepared foods only in 2022, according to Oaklandside's ongoing coverage of Oakland restaurant news.

Oaklandside reported on May 8, 2026 that Clove & Hoof had gone dark, part of a wave of closures alongside nearby restaurants Oken and Casper's. A follow-up Oaklandside article published June 15, 2026 again listed Clove & Hoof among the city's May 2026 restaurant closures. Google Places marked the Broadway location permanently closed, and the restaurant's website, cloveandhoofca.com, returned no response during a September 2026 check, roughly twelve years after the business first opened in 2014.
