What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

Guy Fieri visited The Fancy Biscuit on the Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives episode "Creative Creations" (aired 2019-12-27), a segment on the Richmond, Virginia brunch spot's stacked biscuit sandwiches. According to Flavortownusa.com, the restaurant opened in 2015 at 1831 West Cary Street and built its reputation on Southern-style biscuit sandwiches, including a fried-chicken-and-goat-cheese sandwich called the Got Your Goat and a fried-chicken sandwich called the Black Dog.

The 'American Eats' episode featured The Fancy Biscuit, a Richmond breakfast and brunch cafe on West Cary Street known for scratch-made biscuit sandwiches. Signature items include the 'Rich Chick,' with fried chicken, pimento cheese, and bacon, and the 'Fancy Goat,' with goat cheese and caramelized onions, alongside Southern staples such as shrimp and grits, according to the restaurant's own site. A September 8, 2026 check found the cafe's original website unreachable, while a current site at thefancybiscuit.com was live and listed hours of Tuesday through Friday 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., closed Mondays, according to thefancybiscuit.com. A Yelp listing updated 2026-09 showed 870 reviews for the business at the same West Cary Street address, according to Yelp.
