What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives featured Highway 61 Roadhouse and Kitchen in Webster Groves, Missouri, in the episode "Authentic Eats" (aired 2012-12-10), spotlighting a Cajun and Creole sampler of red beans and rice, barbecue spaghetti topped with pulled pork, and CajAsian potstickers filled with andouille sausage. The Blues Highway-themed roadhouse and live-music venue at 34 S. Old Orchard Avenue was founded in 2006 by Bill Kunz. St. Louis Magazine reported on 2023-11-07 that Kunz had sold the business to new owners Paul and Nitu Brar, who also own The Tattooed Dog in Wentzville, with Kunz staying on part-time. The roadhouse's own website, hwy61roadhouse.com, and a concert-listing site both showed 2026 event dates under the Hwy 61 Roadhouse name, with the venue still booking weekend live-music shows.
