What happened after Mystery Diners?

In the Mystery Diners episode "Too Many Tourists" (aired 2015-04-01), Marigny Brasserie owner Roland told investigator Charles Stiles that an influx of rowdy tourists at what he described as a locals' bar in New Orleans had him questioning who was profiting from the new crowds. Undercover diners Nicole and Eliot went in to observe staff during service, according to the Food Network's episode listing. As is the format of the series, Stiles reviewed the footage with Roland afterward and discussed steps to address the situation.

Wikipedia's article on Mystery Diners, citing the program's own end-of-episode disclaimer and a critic's review, notes that certain scenes are staged or re-enacted for dramatic effect and that the series has been criticized for implausible scenarios and unconvincing acting. A site check of marignybrasserie.com on 2026-09-09 returned an HTTP 200 response for a page titled 'Creole Brasserie in the Marigny New Orleans | Marigny Brasserie,' which offered online table reservations and an 'Order Online' ordering widget for the restaurant at 640 Frenchmen St. A Google Places record for the address separately lists the business as operating. The active reservation and ordering functionality indicates the brasserie continues to serve customers at the same Frenchmen Street address associated with the 2015 episode.
