What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives featured Grind Burger Kitchen in Louisville, Kentucky, on the episode "Brunch, Bologna and Burgers" (S25E12), which aired December 2, 2016, when Guy Fieri sampled the restaurant's burgers. Grind Burger Kitchen operates in Louisville's NuLu dining district at 829 E Market Street, pairing a burger menu with a craft beer and bourbon list. According to Yelp, updated July 2026, the restaurant's page carried 782 reviews and 759 photos under its Burgers listing at that address. The restaurant also maintained active profiles for reservations and online ordering through OpenTable and Toast around the same period. The business's own website, checked September 8, 2026, still loaded but displayed content carrying a 2017 copyright, making it an unreliable indicator of current operations on its own.
