What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives featured Marietta Diner in "A World of Flavors," which aired 2008-04-07, spotlighting the diner's all-day breakfast, lunch, and dinner menu at its 24-hour Cobb Parkway location. Marietta Diner is a full-service diner in Marietta, Georgia that opened in 1995 and has run continuously since, under owner Gus Tselios. In January 2026, FOX 5 Atlanta reported the diner had marked its 30th anniversary in 2025 and that Tselios said he had no plans to slow down, continuing to serve breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert menus around the clock.

A Yelp listing for the same address showed customer reviews updated through September 2026. A September 2026 check of the diner's own site, mariettadiner.net, found the page returning a working response but no retrievable title or body text, so this record relies on the news coverage and listing activity rather than the operator's own site.
