What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

On 'Global Grub' (Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, aired 2009-08-24), Guy Fieri visited Tre Kronor, a Swedish breakfast and brunch spot in Chicago's Albany Park neighborhood known for Nordic dishes. The restaurant has also been featured on WTTW's 'Check, Please!,' according to a video posted on the business's website. Tre Kronor's original website domain, trekronorrestaurant.com, now returns an HTTP 404 error; the business has since moved its web presence to swedishbistro.com, branded 'Tre Kronor Restaurant – Chicago's Nordic Bistro,' which lists the same 3258 West Foster Avenue address and 773-267-9888 phone number as the original listing.

A Yelp listing for the business, updated September 2026, shows 650 photos and 888 reviews, with current listings describing seasonal hours. The restaurant continues to operate under the Tre Kronor name at its original Foster Avenue location, according to the same Yelp listing.
