What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives visited Virginia Diner during the 'Regional Favorites' episode for its home-cooked Southern plates built around Virginia's signature peanut crop. The diner sits on North County Drive in Wakefield, Virginia, and describes itself as a landmark serving 'home-cooked meals and world-famous peanuts.' A direct check of the restaurant's website on 2026-09-08 found it live with a working online-ordering system and an active rewards-program signup, along with copy describing 'ninety-five years' of operation. The site listed a peanut retail shop alongside the restaurant menu, indicating the business continues to operate both a dine-in diner and a peanut-focused retail operation from the same location. Virginia Diner traces to 1929, when Mrs. D'Earcy Davis began serving travelers biscuits and vegetable soup from a refurbished railroad dining car at the site, according to the diner's own history page.
