What happened after Mystery Diners?

In "History Mystery" (Mystery Diners, Food Network, S10E9, aired 2015-07-29), according to Food Network's episode synopsis, Lee, the owner of Old Vinings Inn in the Vinings area of Atlanta, Georgia, told investigator Charles Stiles he had heard rumors that unauthorized "Civil War tours" were being run inside his historic restaurant. Charles sent Mystery Diners operatives Kendall and Eliot in undercover to see how authentic the tours actually were, and Food Network's synopsis frames the investigation around confirming what was happening on the premises. Charles then advised Lee on how to address the unsanctioned tours and protect the restaurant's historic reputation. Wikipedia's article on Mystery Diners, citing its sources, describes the series as staged and scripted rather than an unscripted documentary. Since the episode aired, Old Vinings Inn's website, at oldviningsinn.net, remains active with a working online reservations option, posted weekend brunch and dinner hours, and current catering promotions, and Google Places lists the restaurant as operational at 3011 Paces Mill Rd SE, Atlanta. This research pass found no dated news coverage specifically addressing the tour allegations or any change in ownership since 2015.
