What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?
On "Funky Fresh" (aired 2024-12-27), Guy Fieri visited Backwoods Crossing, a farm-to-table restaurant in Tallahassee, FL that raises chickens, quail, rabbits, and bees on an on-site four-acre farm supplying its Southern-inspired menu. The restaurant operates at 6725 Mahan Dr. The restaurant's own website carries a 2016 copyright footer and returned no current-year content during a September 2026 check, but according to Yelp, updated August 2026, Backwoods Crossing has accumulated 761 reviews and remains listed as open, and Tripadvisor's current listing ranks it the #1 restaurant in Tallahassee out of 546. These more recently updated third-party listings indicate the restaurant continues operating under its farm-to-table concept even though its own site has apparently not been visibly refreshed or recopyrighted at all since 2016.
