What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives featured StickEM, a Memphis food truck built around stick-served street food, in the episode "Flavor World" (aired 2024-02-16). The truck's own site describes it as a locally owned business "Serving Memphis since 2012." Google's business listing for StickEM's 1788 Madison Avenue address marked it permanently closed when checked on 2026-09-08. The truck's website was still reachable that day and carried a 2026 copyright notice, but it no longer displayed a working online-ordering widget, and no news outlet, social account, or public listing found in a 2026-09-08 search reported the truck as still actively serving. A Facebook post referenced in that search dated to November 2025 mentioned a temporary closure for that week only, not a permanent closure.
