What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives featured Ivan's Cookhouse's authentic Haitian dishes on the 2016 episode "Sausage, Seafood and Shawarma."

The restaurant, run by chef Ivan Dorvil, operated at 14815 Biscayne Blvd in North Miami Beach, Florida. Google Places lists the business's status as permanently closed.
