What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

Guy Fieri visited The Little Depot Diner in Peabody, Massachusetts, for the "Diners Times Three" episode of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives (Food Network), aired 2009-11-09. The Little Depot Diner operates out of a 1929 Worcester Lunch Car, according to Diner Hotline. The diner closed briefly in 2011 after more than 60 years in business, then reopened within about a month under continued ownership while a new buyer was sought, according to Boston Restaurant Talk and Diner Hotline. Ownership changed again around 2012, when Ross and Alicia Scanlon took over the diner, according to Diner Hotline. Yelp's current listing for The Little Depot Diner, updated June 2026, carries no closed designation and lists hours of Monday through Friday 7:00 a.m. to noon and Saturday and Sunday 7:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. A site check on 2026-09-08 found the diner's former web address, thelittledepotdiner.com, now redirecting to unrelated third-party content, while Yelp's current, non-closed listing continues to show the diner operating.
