What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

On Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives episode 'Comfort Food Classics' (aired 2010-02-22), the show featured Naglee Park Garage's rotating comfort-food specials, built around scratch American cooking with European and globally influenced touches. The restaurant operated as a small counter-service bistro and bar in a converted garage building in San Jose's Naglee Park neighborhood, with an outdoor garden patio for events. According to a Yelp listing updated September 2026, the business is marked permanently closed at 505 E. San Carlos Street. The restaurant's own website, nagleeparkdining.com, was still reachable when checked on 2026-09-08 and lists a full menu, hours, and a staff bio for chef Mark Ostrowski, but its footer carries a 2024 copyright notice and shows no update matching the Yelp closure listing. According to the same website's homepage, Naglee Park Garage had served American cuisine at the address for over 12 years before the closure listing appeared.
