What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives visited Ruins in Spokane, Washington, for the September 21, 2018 episode "From Pork to Pasta" (S29E1). Ruins operated as a restaurant in Spokane's Nettleton neighborhood for nearly 15 years, according to a note posted on the business's own website.
