What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?
Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives (Food Network) featured Taylor's Automatic Refresher, a walk-up burger stand in St. Helena, California, in the July 2007 "Retro" episode, sampling the drive-in's burgers and shakes. The stand operated as an outdoor, order-at-the-counter restaurant at 933 Main Street in the Napa Valley. FlavortownUSA's location tracker and visitor comments posted between 2010 and 2012 record that the business was renamed Gott's Roadside after the show aired, with reviewer Cristina noting in 2011 that both the old Taylor's and new Gott's signage were briefly displayed together. By January 2012, reviewer Janet Perry described three Gott's Roadside locations operating under the new name: the original St. Helena site, one in Napa's Oxbow Market, and one in San Francisco's Ferry Building. The St. Helena location continues to list its address as 933 Main Street and its phone as (707) 963-3486, per FlavortownUSA's listing.
