What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?
On Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives episode 'Top-Notch Toppings' (aired 2023-07-28), Guy Fieri visited Lucius Q, a barbecue restaurant in Norwood, Ohio, just outside Cincinnati, named for Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus, the Roman statesman for whom Cincinnati itself is named. According to WCPO, the restaurant blends barbecue styles from multiple regions of the country in an industrial-style dining room. A Yelp listing for the Park Avenue location, updated in April 2026, lists hours of Monday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Google Places also lists Lucius Q's business status as operational. Attempts to load the restaurant's own website in September 2026 returned an access-denied response, but the current Yelp listing and Google Places status indicate the barbecue restaurant remains open in Norwood.
