What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives visited Red's Chinese in New Orleans for the episode "Cultural Twist," which aired 2019-01-04, highlighting the restaurant's Sichuan-inspired dishes reworked with Louisiana ingredients, including its dan dan noodles and General Tso's-style entrees. Red's Chinese opened as a fast-casual Chinese restaurant on St. Claude Avenue in New Orleans. According to Google Places, checked 2026-09-08, the business's status is listed as permanently closed. The restaurant's own website, redschinese.com, still loads and displays a banner saying it is open with a set of posted hours, but that page text reads as a pandemic-era reopening notice referencing delivery through D'Livery NOLA and carries no current date, so it does not override the Google Places listing. No fresher dated source describing the restaurant as currently operating was found.
