What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?
Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives visited ZZQ Texas Craft Barbeque in Richmond on the episode 'Smokin' Hot BBQ,' which aired 2020-01-31, spotlighting the smokehouse's Texas-style brisket and other craft barbecue plates. ZZQ operates as a first-come, first-served barbecue counter on West Moore Street, selling out most days before its posted close. A site check on 2026-09-08 found zzqrva.com online and functioning, listing current hours of 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday and repeating the shop's sold-out policy on the homepage. The same page offered navigation for catering, gift cards, and a company story section, with no visible copyright year. Google's business listing for ZZQ also showed the restaurant as operational when the same check ran on 2026-09-08, corroborating the live, current website. No conflicting reports of a closure or relocation turned up during the review.
