What happened after Mystery Diners?

In the Mystery Diners episode "Oktobertheft" (aired 2014-02-03), Speisekammer co-owner Cindy told series investigator Charles Stiles that she suspected the costumed servers her ex-husband and co-owner Peter had hired, known on the show as the Dirndl Girls, were hurting the Alameda restaurant, according to Discovery+'s official episode description. Peter, for his part, suspected that a newly hired waiter was actually to blame, according to the same description. The restaurant describes itself on its own website as a traditional German restaurant and bar at 2424 Lincoln Avenue in Alameda. Undercover Mystery Diners investigators then worked the restaurant's floor to observe the staff each owner suspected. As Wikipedia's article on the series notes, citing its sources, Mystery Diners' end-credits disclaimer allows that events may be re-enacted for dramatic effect, and the show has drawn criticism from television critics over how staged its confrontations are. As is typical for the series, Stiles then presented what the investigators had recorded to Cindy, Peter, and the staff involved. The episode aired in early 2014 during a run of Bay Area and Pacific Northwest restaurants the series profiled that season. The restaurant's own website, checked 2026-09-08, listed current Thursday-through-Sunday hours, carried a 2026 copyright date, and displayed a customer note dated August 21, 2026, and offered online ordering; Google Places listed the business as operational the same day. No additional ownership or name change was reported for the business.
