What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?
On Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives' 'Neighborhood Knockouts' episode (aired 2013-08-26), Guy Fieri stopped at Show Dogs, a counter-service restaurant on Market Street in San Francisco built around gourmet hot dogs and specialty sausages. The restaurant sat at the corner of Market, Golden Gate, and Taylor streets downtown. A public listing on Yelp, updated June 2026, marks Show Dogs as permanently closed at its 1020 Market Street address. Gayot's review page for the restaurant carries a matching closed notice, and SF Weekly's 'Open/Shut Report' column previously reported the closure, noting that the building housing Show Dogs was being sold. Neither source gives an exact closure date. No current website, active social media, or 2026-dated listing describing Show Dogs as open could be found. Based on the permanently-closed Yelp listing corroborated by Gayot's notice and SF Weekly's reporting on the sale of the building, Show Dogs appears to no longer operate at its original Market Street location.
