What happened after Mystery Diners?
In the Mystery Diners episode "Sour Grapes," which aired December 21, 2012, Scott, owner of Rhythm Kitchen in Las Vegas, suspected his wine sommelier was steering diners away from the restaurant's own bottles and toward wine the sommelier was selling on the side, pocketing the difference for himself. Charles Stiles sent investigators Chelsea and Hollie in undercover as customers to watch how the sommelier handled wine recommendations and sales during service. Their observations supported Scott's suspicion, and he was advised to confront the sommelier with the footage and put controls in place over how wine was recommended and sold on the floor. According to the episode, Scott addressed the issue with the sommelier directly after the investigation. Wikipedia's article on Mystery Diners notes, citing its sources, that the show carries an on-screen disclaimer stating some events may be staged or re-enacted for dramatic purposes, and that a television critic has described its scenarios and performances as implausible. The restaurant, later doing business as Rhythm Kitchen Seafood and Steaks, served Creole and Southern-style seafood and steaks with an extensive wine list at 6435 S Decatur Blvd, according to restaurant directory listings; a Yelp listing for that address, updated April 2026, marks it permanently closed.
