What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?
Part 1 — Season 18, Episode 7 Aired
Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives visited Golden Crown Panaderia in Albuquerque for 'All Kinds of Gobble Gobble' (aired 2013-11-18), an episode centered on the neighborhood bakery's traditional New Mexican breads and pastries. The family-run panaderia sits at 1103 Mountain Rd NW in Albuquerque's Old Town area. According to a Yelp listing updated September 2026, the bakery remains active, with nearly 800 photos and reviews posted by customers. A joe.coffee location listing, also current, gives lobby hours of 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM Wednesday through Saturday and 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM Sunday, closed Monday and Tuesday, and notes the bakery offers a 24-hour automated cookie vending machine for after-hours purchases. The bakery's own site, goldencrown.biz, lists the same Mountain Road address and phone number, (505) 243-2424.
Part 2 — Season 23, Episode 16 Aired
On the 'Ultimate Turkey Fest' compilation special, Guy Fieri revisited Golden Crown Panaderia, an Old Town bakery the series first featured in 2013. That segment centered on baker Pratt Morales's vegetarian turkey-shaped dinner bread, a Thanksgiving loaf made from a molasses-and-honey dough for the dark-meat legs and wings and a white-flour dough for the breast, according to Golden Crown's own account of the episode. The bakery, a family-run panaderia in Albuquerque's Old Town, is also known for its New Mexico green chile bread and bizcochitos. Yelp's business listing for Golden Crown Panaderia, refreshed in September 2026, showed current photos and customer reviews for the bakery at 1103 Mountain Rd NW.
