What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives featured daybird in Los Angeles for the 'From Chicken to Noodles' episode, which aired October 13, 2023, highlighting the restaurant's Szechuan-style fried chicken. According to its website, daybirdla.com, daybird describes itself as the first fast-casual Szechuan Hot Chicken restaurant, located on Melrose Avenue. A September 8, 2026 check of that site found the page loading normally with an active online ordering link and Sunday hours listed as noon to 8 p.m., according to the site. Google Places also listed the business as operational as of that date. The site's own description of its Sichuan peppercorn seasoning and citrus-like, numbing flavor profile, the same concept spotlighted in the 2023 episode, still appeared on the page during the September 2026 check. No newer dated content, review, or news item was found for the restaurant beyond the site's standing menu copy and the current Places listing.
