What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

Guy Fieri visited Sam LaGrassa's in Boston for the "Blast from the Past" episode of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives (Food Network), aired 2009-10-19. Sam LaGrassa's is a sandwich shop at 44 Province Street in Boston's Downtown Crossing area, according to Tripadvisor. In July 2026, Yelp listed Sam LaGrassa's as an active business with more than 1,280 reviews and continuing customer activity. The restaurant also maintains a delivery listing on Grubhub and an active website, samlagrassas.com, both branded to the business, according to those platforms. The business also maintains an active Facebook page under the name Sam LaGrassa's, according to Facebook. None of these current listings — Yelp, Grubhub, or Facebook — carry a closed or permanently-closed designation for Sam LaGrassa's.

This episode ('All in the Family') featured Sam LaGrassa's, a longstanding delicatessen at 44 Province St in downtown Boston known for its stacked corned beef and pastrami sandwiches. This location matches an existing record for the same business already in the database (recorded there as Sam LaGrassa's), so this entry is logged as a repeat appearance rather than a new record. Google Places lists the location's business status as operational, and the deli's own website (samlagrassas.com) remains active, though its page could not be read in detail during this check.
