What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives visited Yankee Lobster Company in Boston's Seaport District for the episode "Turn On Traditional" (aired 2012-11-12), where Guy Fieri praised the restaurant's cod cakes and a lobster mac and cheese loaded with crab. Yankee Lobster began in 1950 as a family-run seafood market at 300 Northern Avenue before growing into a full-service restaurant and wholesaler, according to Tripled Map, and its retail counter still sells fresh catch to walk-in customers alongside the dining room. According to yankeelobstercompany.com, the business's website was live on 2026-09-08 with 2026 copyright dating, weekday hours starting at 11 a.m., and a link for dine-in, take-out and delivery ordering. The site also lists a retail seafood market and a wholesale-inquiries line alongside its dine-in and take-out menus.
