What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives visited Leo's BBQ in the 'Local Legends' episode (S1E6), aired 2007-06-04, spotlighting the family-run barbecue pit's slow-smoked ribs and sides. Leo's BBQ is a barbecue restaurant founded in 1974 by the Smith family in Oklahoma City. News9 reported on 2021-10-14 that owner Charles Smith moved the business from its original location at 36th Street and Kelley Avenue into the new Homeland grocery store at Northeast 36th Street and Lincoln Boulevard, saying, 'We have family ties with Homeland now.' Smith told News9 the Homeland partnership let him keep serving ribs, sides, and the restaurant's strawberry-banana cake without having to maintain the older building himself. Some online directories still list the earlier Kelley Avenue address; the Homeland-store location is used here as the address on file.
