What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

On the 'Ultimate Turkey Fest' compilation special, Guy Fieri revisited Comet Cafe, an East Side Milwaukee hangout known for its bacon-wrapped meatloaf. The turkey-themed segment featured the cafe's compact turkey dinner, beer-battered balls of slow-roasted turkey and stuffing served with mashed potatoes. Comet Cafe closed in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic after 25 years in business, according to Milwaukee Magazine, which reported on October 26, 2022 that the cafe had reopened under a new ownership team behind Bay View's Honeypie Cafe, restoring many of its original menu items. A direct check of thecometcafe.com on September 8, 2026 found the site live with a 2026 copyright, a full daily and weekend-brunch menu, and a working online-ordering link, with the cafe listed at 1947 North Farwell Avenue and phone (414) 273-7677.
