What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?
Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives featured Foreign & Domestic in the 'Belly Up' episode (aired 2012-06-25), where Guy Fieri sampled the restaurant's nose-to-tail, farm-to-table New American cooking built around a frequently changing menu. The chef-driven restaurant, located in Austin's North Loop neighborhood, describes itself on its own website as one of the city's earliest farm-to-table establishments. That website, fndaustin.com, also references a 2018 Austin American-Statesman article about new owners refreshing the restaurant, without giving a specific ownership-change date, and displays 2026-dated promotional material, including a happy hour flyer and an oyster special. A Yelp listing for the East 53rd Street address, updated September 2026, shows 954 reviews and hours of Tuesday through Sunday, 5 to 9 p.m., with Mondays closed.
