What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?
On the 'Ultimate Turkey Fest' compilation special, Guy Fieri revisited Golden Crown Panaderia, an Old Town bakery that first appeared on the series as Golden Crown Restaurant. 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. The original episode credited the business as 'Golden Crown Restaurant,' a name it no longer uses, though its address on Mountain Road NW is unchanged. 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.
