SOMETHING HOT MOVING IN ON 59 DINER’S FORMER FARNHAM SPOT 
With the ghostly reflection of the restaurant’s milkshake-shaped beacon hovering to the far left, a reader sends a shot of the TABC notice now replacing the hand-scrawled closed-indefinitely signage on the door of the former S. Shepherd 59 Diner location. The sign lists Alcaliente Houston as the applicant; 2 restaurants currently operate in Katy and the Woodlands respectively under the name Alcaliente, serving halal-and-also-very-non-halal Mexican food. The diner spot cleared out beneath a cloud of worker payment disputes in early March, shortly after The Halal Guys moved in to the west.

Can alcoholic beverages be made halal?
Alcaliente is moving into the Ex-59 up in The Woodlands/Shenandoah area too.
Halal? Isn’t that where they slice the animal’s throat and let it bleed to death?
Given their breakfast menu is a pork cornucopia and the offering of carnitas for lunch and dinner, one would surmise this is most certainly not a halal restaurant.
Now I’m thinking about the bacon/pig scene in Pulp Fiction.
Edited to clarify, J! Thanks!
