What happened after Mystery Diners?
In "Red Ink" (Mystery Diners, Food Network, S10E10, aired 2015-08-05), according to IMDb's episode listing, Uche, the owner of the Anchor Bar and Tattoo Studio in Atlanta, Georgia, told investigator Charles Stiles he had noticed a drop in both food and tattoo sales at his combined bar-and-tattoo-parlor business. IMDb's listing reports Charles sent Mystery Diners operatives Meagen and Justin in undercover to see whether the two declines were related. Charles then coached Uche on addressing whatever the undercover team found tying the two revenue streams together. Wikipedia's article on Mystery Diners, citing its sources, describes the series as staged and scripted rather than an unscripted documentary. In the years since, Google Places records the Anchor Bar & Tattoo Studio's business status at 1878 Piedmont Ave NE, Atlanta, as permanently closed, and this research pass found no working website or current listing for the business under that name. No dated news coverage of the closure was located in this pass.
