A Earl Celebrates 75 Years in San Antonio!

It was 75 years ago in 1933 that Earl Abel began his quest to establish one of the best restaurants in San Antonio.  The new Earl Abel’s is proud to be a part of that history and tradition that allows this institution to continue serving San Antonio.  Any restaurant that has survived in the highly competitive restaurant industry for so many years must be doing something right.  To celebrate this milestone, Earl Abel’s is planning a year long schedule of fun-filled events that will allow all of San Antonio to participate.

 

During the week of March 10, 2008, Earl Abel’s turned back the clock and took its customers to “days gone by” by offering one menu item per day at early 20th century prices.  There were also antique cars on display, courtesy of our local antique car clubs in town.  And to give back to the community that has supported it for 75 years,  Earl Abel’s donated a portion of selected days proceeds to the Make A Wish Foundation of South Texas.

 

Daily diners also received a complimentary dinner placemat, each with a different historical and never before seen or published Earl Abel’s photograph.  These will surely be collectors items in the future, as are other Earl Abel’s memorabilia.  An historical wall mural was also unveiled during the week highlighting these and other photographs provided by Jerry Abel, the former owner and son of Earl Abel.
