What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives featured Donabe Asian Kitchen in Taos, New Mexico, where Guy Fieri sampled donabe hot pot and Asian-inspired dishes on the episode 'Culinary Adventure,' which aired 2022-11-25. The restaurant operated on Paseo Del Pueblo Norte in Taos. Google Places records now match that address to a business named Donabe Gallery and Grill, indicating the name changed at some point after the episode aired. According to a Google Places check on 2026-09-08, that business's status is listed as permanently closed. A Wikipedia entry separately lists the restaurant as closed, though it is not used here as a source of record, only as a lead consistent with the Google Places finding. No website or social media presence was found for the business at the time of this check, and no owner statement about the closure has been located.
