What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives visited Pingala Cafe in Burlington on the episode 'Savory with a Side of Sweet,' which aired 2020-02-07, spotlighting the all-vegan menu's food-truck-inspired dishes and baked treats. Pingala Cafe operates out of the Chace Mill building on Mill Street and, per its own site, now runs a second Vermont cafe location in addition to the original one featured on the show. A site check on 2026-09-08 found pingalacafe.com online and functioning, listing current hours of Friday 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. and weekends 9:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., plus working links for online ordering, catering, and custom cake orders. Google's business listing for Pingala Cafe & Eatery Chace Mill also showed the location as operational when the same check ran on 2026-09-08. No conflicting reports of a closure or relocation turned up during the review.
