What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives visited The Table Cafe in Louisville, Kentucky, on the episode "Turkey-giving" (S25E11), which aired November 18, 2016, when Guy Fieri toured the nonprofit lunch spot. The Table describes itself, on its own website, as a nonprofit restaurant that serves locally grown food at an affordable price at 1800 Portland Ave. The business's website, checked September 8, 2026, carried a 2026 copyright date, an online ordering system, and current posted hours of Monday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., for lunch service. The site also listed a mission built around community, volunteers, and affordable access to fresh food, and it solicited support from volunteers for its Portland neighborhood location. The website described The Table as a non-profit restaurant rather than a typical for-profit cafe, framing its purpose around letting the surrounding community share in locally grown food.
