What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives featured Shalhoob's Funk Zone Patio, a butcher shop and restaurant in the Funk Zone district of Santa Barbara, on its 'Chicken and Ribs' episode (aired 2023-03-03). The business, at 220 Gray Ave, pairs a butcher counter with a dining patio and describes itself on its own website as "a family tradition for 53 years," alongside a second Magnolia Avenue location, a separate butcher shop, and a catering operation. The website, checked on 2026-09-08, returned an active page with a working online-ordering cart for both the Funk Zone and Magnolia locations and listed current weekly hours running from 11 a.m. on most days into the evening. Google's business listing for the Funk Zone address listed the business as operating on the same date, consistent with the site's live ordering system, and no conflicting reports of a closure were found.
