What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives visited Angkor Chef for its authentic Cambodian cooking, prepared from traditional recipes by chef Channy Laux, according to a YouTube upload of the segment. Laux, a survivor of the Cambodian genocide who arrived in the United States as a refugee in 1979, spent 30 years as an aerospace and biotech engineer before opening the downtown San Jose restaurant in 2023, according to the same segment description.
