What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?
Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives visited Momona in Chico, California, for the May 10, 2019 episode "Not Your Everyday Eats" (S29E20), the same segment that covered Richland, Washington's Frost Me Sweet Bakery & Bistro. Momona operates at 330 Main St, Suite 100, offering dinner service alongside a rentable event space called the Lanai, suggesting an island-influenced concept. A Google Places listing recorded the business's status as permanently closed as of a 2026-09-08 check. That same day, however, the business's own website (momonachico.com) remained live and functional, listing current hours of Monday through Wednesday 4pm to 9pm and Thursday through Sunday noon to 9pm, a phone number and email address, and an active online-ordering button, details consistent with ongoing day-to-day operation rather than a permanent closure.
