What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?
Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives featured Wood Shop BBQ in Seattle for the episode "BBQ Bites and Southern Flavor" (aired 2018-05-25). According to the restaurant's own website, its barbecue draws on both Kansas and Texas traditions, smoked in Seattle. Wikipedia places the restaurant in Seattle's Atlantic/Central District. Wood Shop BBQ's website, checked 2026-09-08, runs an active online-ordering system, posts current hours, and now lists multiple locations alongside a food-truck schedule. Wikipedia's entry on the restaurant, revised 2026-07-11, independently confirms Wood Shop BBQ has expanded to operate outposts beyond its original location. Together, the two sources indicate the restaurant that appeared on the show remains active and has grown since the episode aired, with no closure or relocation of the original Jackson Street location found in either source.
