What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives featured Fork-n-Cork in downtown Wilmington for the episode "Grab and Grub" (aired 2018-05-04). The restaurant operates from Market Street in downtown Wilmington. Google's business listing now renders the name with added punctuation, "The Fork 'N' Cork," though the address and coordinates match the location that appeared on the show. The website's own title describes the restaurant with the tagline "Savor & Enjoy." The site, checked 2026-09-08, returned an active page with an online reservation link labeled "Book a Table" and the same Market Street address shown in Google's listing. No closure, relocation, or ownership-change notice appears on the site or in Google's listing based on that check, and no news coverage of a sale or rebrand was found.
