What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

On 'Name That Cook' (Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, aired 2009-08-17), Guy Fieri visited Rick's Press Room Grill and Bar in Meridian, Idaho, an American-style grill and bar. The restaurant operated at 130 East Idaho Avenue in downtown Meridian, with a listed phone number of (208) 288-0558. A Yelp listing for the address, updated August 2026, marks the business permanently closed, and a Foursquare listing for the same address separately tags the location 'Now Closed.' Neither listing gives a specific closure date. No current website or active social media presence for the restaurant was found in available search results. The storefront does not appear, from current listings, to be operating under the Rick's Press Room name or under the Press Room brand at that Meridian address today.
