What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives visited this Bayview restaurant for the 'Asia, Africa and India' episode, aired 2016-07-08, which featured chef Eskender Aseged's Ethiopian-inspired cooking. Radio Africa & Kitchen grew out of a series of pop-up dinners Aseged began hosting in 2004 before opening a brick-and-mortar restaurant on Third Street in San Francisco's Bayview neighborhood, according to the San Francisco Public Press. Yelp's current listing for Radio Africa Kitchen, at 101 Horne Ave, carries 366 reviews and hours updated 2026-06, indicating continued service at the Bayview address.

The location data supplied for this record had matched a different, unrelated Senegalese restaurant, Teranga, at 4 Embarcadero Center; that match was set aside in favor of the Bayview address confirmed by Yelp and the U.S. Census geocoder. No news coverage of a closure or relocation for Radio Africa & Kitchen was found in the sources checked.
