What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

She prepared street-food staples including papaya salad, drunken noodles, laap, and nam khao, along with Kao Piek, a garlicky chicken noodle soup made with her own hand-cut noodles. The truck built a following serving Lao and Thai dishes rarely found elsewhere in the Central Valley.
