What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?
On 'From Bunny Chow to Chicken Oysters' (aired 2026-05-08), Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives featured El Halal Amigos in San Jose, spotlighting the kitchen's halal-certified take on Latin-style plates. El Halal Amigos is a halal-certified restaurant with its own catering menu and customer rewards program, according to its website. Since the episode, the restaurant's website has continued to run a working online-ordering system and lists its awards, certifications, and job openings on the same pages, according to elhalalamigos.com. The site does not show a 2026-dated update, but its active ordering function and unchanged operating pages, checked 2026-09-08, show no sign of closure, relocation, or a change in ownership, and Google Places separately lists El Halal Amigos as operational at the same Lincoln Avenue address.
