What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?
Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives visited Taste of Peru in the episode titled Home And Away (aired 2010-02-01), spotlighting the restaurant's Peruvian home cooking. Taste of Peru is a Peruvian restaurant at 6545 North Clark Street in Chicago's Rogers Park neighborhood. A site check on 2026-09-08 found the restaurant's own website, tasteofperu.com, still online but carrying a 2018 copyright notice and no current-year content, so that page alone does not confirm current operation. According to Yelp, a listing updated in August 2026 shows Taste of Peru open, with hundreds of photos and reviews and no closure marking. Delivery listings on Seamless and Grubhub carry the same Clark Street address and the phone number (773) 381-4540. No name change, relocation, or new-ownership indicator was found in the material reviewed for this record.
