What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives featured Jake's Good Eats in the Grilled, Smoked & Sauced episode, S9E6, which aired 2010-05-31, spotlighting the restaurant's Southern comfort food with playful twists. Jake's Good Eats opened in 2008 in a converted 1930s Gulf gas station on Albemarle Road in Charlotte, North Carolina, run by owner Jacob Stegall, according to Our State magazine, and was known for dishes such as blackened flounder with crawfish sauce and maple-glazed pork chops. A DDD-fan directory listing at dinersdriveinsdiveslocations.com, updated May 2025, lists the restaurant's phone number as permanently closed.

The restaurant's original domain, jakesgoodeatsnc.com, now redirects to an unrelated gambling website, a further sign the business is no longer operating at that address.
