What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives visited Hong's Chinese Dumplings in Burlington on the episode 'Mom and Dad,' which aired 2020-03-06, featuring the shop's handmade dumplings, made fresh in front of customers. According to Vermont.com, the business began as a Church Street food cart in 2000 before moving into its current Pearl Street storefront. A site check on 2026-09-08 found hongsdumplings.com online, carrying a 2026 copyright and listing limited current hours of Friday 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Saturday noon to 7 p.m., alongside an online shop selling sauces and dumplings. Google's Places listing marked the business temporarily closed on 2026-09-08, but the shop's own 2026-dated site and a Yelp listing updated in May 2026 both point to a business still running on a reduced, two-day weekly schedule rather than a full closure.
