What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives featured Ray's Place in Anchorage, Alaska, spotlighting the restaurant's Vietnamese lunch and dinner menu in the episode 'Pickin' Up and Chowin' Down' (aired 2022-04-15). According to the restaurant's website, Ray's Place has served Vietnamese cuisine in Anchorage since 1993. A 2026-09-08 check of raysplaceak.com found the site online, with a server last-modified date of 2025-12-17, a working online-ordering system, and posted hours of Monday through Friday lunch and dinner service, with weekends closed. The homepage displayed a seasonal notice reading 'closed until Jan 5th,' which appeared to date from a past holiday period rather than the current 2026-09-08 review. Google Places also listed the business as operational at that address during the same review. No notice of permanent closure, relocation, or ownership change was found.
