What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

On the November 2015 episode 'Piggin' Out,' Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives featured Unideli, a deli counter operating inside the United Noodles Asian grocery store in Minneapolis's Seward neighborhood. The segment highlighted the deli's Asian-fusion sandwiches and prepared foods, sold from a counter tucked inside the larger grocery store, a concept Heavy Table described as a redux of the original United Noodles deli. Unideli operated at 2015 East 24th Street as an extension of United Noodles' retail space. A Yelp listing for Unideli, updated in August 2026, marks the deli permanently closed, with the page retaining 237 historical reviews and photos from when it operated inside the grocery store.
