What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives featured Lotus Cafe for its Small Town Standouts episode (aired 2014-10-03), spotlighting the all-organic breakfast spot's vegan bowls, including the Bombay Bowl with bison, mango and tikka sauce, and a Thai curry noodle bowl. The Jackson restaurant served breakfast into the early afternoon and leaned heavily on vegan and gluten-free options, drawing visitors to its Glenwood Street storefront near the town square. According to Triple D Life's restaurant fan site, Lotus Cafe permanently closed on August 12, 2018. HappyCow's dining directory also lists the restaurant as closed. No source reviewed indicates a successor business, ownership change, or reopening at the Glenwood Street address in the years since; the location has not been reported as active under any name.
