What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives visited The Purple Carrot in Okemos for the episode "Seafood and Savory" (aired 2018-04-27), spotlighting the restaurant's farm-to-table approach. The restaurant operated from Hagadorn Road in Okemos. According to the website now live at that address, eatredhaven.com, the business is Red Haven Farm to Table Restaurant, carrying a 2026 copyright notice, an online reservation system requiring a day's advance notice, and a navigation link to a separate "Purple Carrot Truck." Google's business listing for the same address and coordinates also shows the name Red Haven rather than The Purple Carrot.

Together the two sources indicate the sit-down restaurant that appeared on the show was rebranded to Red Haven, with the original Purple Carrot name continuing on a food truck rather than the brick-and-mortar location. No separate closure notice was found.
