What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives visited The Noble Pig in the 'Serious Sandwiches' episode (aired 2012-06-11), where Guy Fieri sampled the Duck Pastrami, the shop's namesake Noble Pig sandwich of house-brined ham, pulled pork, bacon and provolone, and the Knuckle Sandwich, at the sandwich shop's original Ranch Road 620 location in the Austin area. Chefs John Bates and Brandon Martinez had opened the shop there in 2010 before adding a second location on Burnet Road and rebranding as Noble Sandwich Co. According to the restaurant-tracking site Triple D Life, the Ranch Road 620 location is now permanently closed. Multiple Yelp listings for the Burnet Road location, updated as recently as August 2026, likewise mark Noble Sandwich Co. as permanently closed, and a commenter on a 2016 Ali Khan Eats review noted in March 2024 that the business was already shut down by then.

Noble Sandwich Co. appeared in the pork-themed 'Hog Wild' episode (S18E7) for its Porkmento Burger and The Noble Pig sandwich, according to Wikipedia's Food Paradise season 18 episode guide. The Austin sandwich shop also operates a walk-up counter inside Austin-Bergstrom International Airport near Gate 13, where sandwiches including a Knuckle Sandwich of roast beef, caramelized onions, and cheddar are cooked to order on a griddle, according to a December 2022 review by The Infatuation.
