What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives visited Bless My Soul Cafe, a small Cajun and Creole restaurant that operated at 29 5th Street in Eureka, California's Old Town district. According to Yelp, a listing updated in October 2025 marks the cafe as permanently closed. A Triple D Life page that tracks Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives filming locations also lists Bless My Soul Cafe as closed. The cafe's Yelp page shows more than 360 reviews accumulated over the years it operated. Some online commentary has suggested the business might continue on a catering-only basis, but no dated, named source confirms that claim, so it remains an open question rather than a confirmed fact. No 2026-dated evidence, such as current hours, an active ordering page, or a recent review, was found for the Eureka storefront.

On the 'Extra Helpings' episode of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives (aired 2015-11-27), Guy Fieri returned to Bless My Soul in Eureka, California. The segment featured a shrimp and crawfish etouffee finished in a Creole-style sauce, according to the show's episode archive at dinersdriveinsdives.com.
