What happened after Mystery Diners?

In the Mystery Diners episode "Greek Tragedy" (aired 2014-02-17), My Greek and Italian Restaurant owner Nader told series investigator Charles Stiles that he kept finding broken dishes at his Tacoma, Washington restaurant, tied to the restaurant's Greek plate-smashing tradition, according to IMDb's episode listing for the series. Undercover Mystery Diners investigators then worked the floor to watch how staff were handling the tradition. As Wikipedia's article on the series notes, citing its sources, Mystery Diners' end-credits disclaimer allows that events may be re-enacted for dramatic effect, and the show has drawn criticism from television critics over how staged its confrontations are. As is typical for the series, Stiles presented what the investigators observed to Nader so he could address the staff responsible. The building had previously operated as a Shari's restaurant, a Pacific Northwest chain that uses similar architecture across its locations, according to IMDb's trivia entry for the episode. The episode aired during the show's fifth season, which featured a run of restaurants across California and the Pacific Northwest that spring of 2014. Google Places' listing for My Greek & Italian Restaurant, checked 2026-09-08, gives its address as 2303 N Pearl St in Tacoma and marks the business_status as permanently closed. No website was found for the business, and no reopening or name change at the address was located.
