What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives featured The Seafood Lady in Louisville, Kentucky, on the episode "Mega Mouthfuls" (S26E3), which aired January 20, 2017, when Guy Fieri sampled the restaurant's Florida-style seafood platters. The Seafood Lady's brick-and-mortar restaurant at 601 E. Jefferson Street in Louisville closed on February 24, 2024, though the Seafood Lady food truck continued operating afterward. The business had also maintained its own website, seafoodlady502.com, along with a Facebook page and an Instagram account under the Seafood Lady name. A Google-matched business record supplied for this Louisville record instead corresponds to Heavy Plates Seafood, a separate Cajun seafood operation that is not affiliated with The Seafood Lady.
