What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives featured The Local Craft Food & Drink for Southern-inspired dishes with unexpected twists, including roasted bone marrow, a lamb belly BLT, and hen and dumplings, on the 2016 episode "Chew and Brew." The restaurant, a craft beer and New American spot, operated at 150 Giralda Ave in Coral Gables. A Yelp listing updated in August 2026 marks The Local Craft Food & Drink as permanently closed. Google Places now shows a different concept, CRAFT Coral Gables, operating nearby at 127 Giralda Ave; a 2026-09-08 site check found craftmiami.us live and describing a multi-location "comfort food" brand with outposts across Miami-Dade and Broward counties, including Coral Gables, Brickell, and Coconut Grove. It is unclear whether CRAFT is a rebrand of The Local or an unrelated tenant that later took over the block.
