What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives featured Papi Queso, a mobile food truck, in the episode "Swiss, Sandwiches and Sausage," which aired 2017-02-10, spotlighting its gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches, including the signature Pig Mac, which layers cheddar and bechamel mac and cheese with pulled pork and caramelized bourbon onions. Papi Queso began as a food truck serving the Charlotte area before the show's original taping. According to Axios (2019-09-26), the business later opened a permanent stall inside Optimist Hall, a food hall in Charlotte's NoDa neighborhood, at 1115 N Brevard St. A Toast online-ordering page for that same address remained active as of a check on 2026-09-08, and Google Places also listed the business as operational at the Optimist Hall location, indicating Papi Queso continues to serve customers from its Brevard Street stall rather than the original truck.
