What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

The Elk Public House appeared on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives in the episode "Sandwiches Plus," which aired on 2010-12-18, when Guy Fieri visited the Spokane, Washington pub. According to the pub's own website, it first opened its doors in 1999 and sits in the historic Browne's Addition neighborhood just west of downtown Spokane. The site, checked 2026-09-08, returned a working page with a 2026 copyright year under the operating name "The Elk," part of a small local group that also lists sister venues (Moon Time, The Porch, The Two Seven, El Que) on the same site. That current copyright year and functioning site, describing the pub's history and neighborhood location in the present tense, indicate the business was operating under the same branding as of the check date, though a single website alone does not rise to two-source or official-record confirmation.
