What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives? 2 episodes

Part 1 — Season 18, Episode 3 Aired

On Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives' 'Servin' Up San Francisco' episode (aired 2013-09-09), Guy Fieri visited Miller's East Coast Deli, a Polk Street sandwich-and-pizza shop built around East Coast-style delicatessen classics. The deli operated at 1725 Polk Street for close to two decades, according to Wanderlog's business profile. A public listing on Yelp, updated June 2026, marks Miller's East Coast Deli as permanently closed at that address, and Wanderlog's profile separately describes the deli as having closed in 2019 after its long run on Polk Street.

No current website, active ordering page, or 2026-dated listing describing the deli as open could be found; delivery pages on Postmates and Grubhub that still reference the business appear to be outdated holdovers rather than evidence of current operation. Based on the permanently-closed Yelp listing corroborated by Wanderlog's account of the deli's 2019 closure, Miller's East Coast Deli appears to no longer be operating on Polk Street.

Part 2 — Season 23, Episode 18 Aired

On the 'Holiday Hoopla' episode of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives (aired 2015-12-11), Guy Fieri revisited Miller's East Coast Deli in San Francisco, California. The segment featured potato latkes topped with corned beef and pastrami, according to the show's episode archive at dinersdriveinsdives.com.
