What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

On the Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives episode "Sandwiches, Seafood and Sweets" (aired April 18, 2025), Guy Fieri visited Iverstine Butcher to feature sandwiches built from its house-butchered meats. Iverstine is a whole-animal butcher shop and market with an attached eatery on Perkins Road in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, sourcing grass-fed beef and lamb, free-range chicken and heritage-breed pork from its own farm, according to the business's website. Since the episode, a Yelp listing updated in August 2026 shows the business active at 7731 Perkins Rd with 79 accumulated reviews, according to Yelp. A Google Places record checked in September 2026 also lists the business as operational, according to Google. The butcher shop's own site, iverstinebutcher.com, remained indexed with a live online-ordering page through Toast, though it blocked our direct check.
