Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives featured Sophia's Place in Albuquerque for the episode "Not What You'd Expect," which aired 2008-11-24. Sophia's Place is a restaurant that public listings place at more than one address along the 4th Street NW corridor in Albuquerque over the years.

A Food Network restaurant profile and a Yelp page for "Sophia's" reference the business without indicating whether it is currently operating. Because the sources found disagree on the restaurant's current address and none carries a 2026-dated confirmation of hours, menu activity, or ownership, the restaurant's current status could not be confirmed in this pass.
