What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?
Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives featured Metro Diner's breakfast and brunch fare on the "You Found 'Em" episode, which aired 2010-09-20. This location serves the Mandarin area of Jacksonville, Florida, along San Jose Boulevard, part of a casual dining chain headquartered in Tampa. According to metrodiner.com, checked 2026-09-08, the Jacksonville-Mandarin location's page carries a 2026 copyright and offers active online ordering, catering, and a location-specific menu. Wikipedia, revised 2026-06-16, reports Metro Diner operates 66 locations across the country and was featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives in 2010. Together the two sources point to a chain, and this location, still in active operation. The listed phone number, (904) 638-6185, and the site's Mandarin-specific location page tie the current online presence directly to the San Jose Boulevard address that appeared on the show, rather than to the brand generally.
