EDWARD’S STEAK HOUSE CELEBRATES 63 YEARS OF SERVICE

Venerable El Monte Landmark Still Dishing Out Fresh Fare for a Reasonable Cost

EL MONTE, CA (February 6, 2009) – Edward’s Food Service, Inc., parent company of the popular Edward’s Steak House restaurant, announced today that it is celebrating 63 years of consecutive service in Southern California. One of the region’s longest running family owned and operated restaurants, Edward’s features fresh food prepared from original recipes, a friendly atmosphere and a legacy unlike any left in Los Angeles.

Ken Rausch, President, commented on the company’s achievement. "Our ability to survive two generations," he said, " is due in large part to our loyal patrons and our hardworking staff. We take great pleasure and pride in celebrating our 63rd year. We’re now one of just a handful of survivors left, but we continue to uphold the values that have remained constant for over six decades: offering our customers consistently high quality, fresh food and never compromising on service."

Along with his wife Olga, a longtime Edward’s waitress, Rausch believes another key to the restaurant’s longevity is its willingness to adapt the menu to changing demands. The recent addition of more main course tossed salads and weekly specials are very popular. "You’ve got to listen to your customers," Rausch explained, "and track the shifts in dining behavior – particularly when discretionary income is so limited – it’s a lifelong vocation." Rausch, past Chairman of the Board of Directors of the California Restaurant Association, has worked for the restaurant for more than 30 years.

A Recipe for Success

Known for its value and friendly service, Edward’s is especially revered for its cut-fresh-daily fine steaks, broiled fresh fish and super lean ground beef – which is hand-trimmed and ground at least once, and sometimes twice, a day. The family-friendly, unpretentious Victorian décor with sawdust-covered floors has drawn loyal customers back to Edward’s for decades. It’s not uncommon to encounter patrons who’ve made Edward’s a habit for many years. Edward's VIP REWARDS CARD PROGRAM recognizes and rewards loyal patrons for dining at Edward's on a regular basis.

The full service restaurant serves lunch and dinner daily, and all menu items are available to go. Among the features that distinguish Edward’s from other restaurant’s are its BIG AND LITTLE EATER MENUS – which includes choices of several generous side dishes and caters to large and small appetites. In addition, Edward’s offers catering and banquet services as well as a successful lunchtime delivery service for local businesses.

The restaurant features a full bar, including distinctive beers and an outstanding selection of wines available by the glass. HAPPY HOUR prices are in effect from 3PM-7PM weekdays with discounts on well drinks, beer and selected cocktails as well as half price appetizers. Happy Hour prices are also in effect for all Monday night football games and with three big-screen TVs, Edward's is the place to watch all your favorite televised sports.

Always adapting to changing tastes and lifestyles, Edward’s launched its website in 2000. The Website features an E-MAIL CLUB for its computer-connected customers. Most recently, Edward's has added an ONLINE RESERVATIONS feature to its Website.

Traditions Rooted in Family History

Edward’s opened its original coffee shop in the Westlake district of downtown Los Angeles in 1946. Edward Rausch served as cook, and his wife Lynette as waitress for what started as three tables and a counter that sat l7 patrons. Over the years, Edward’s prospered – garnering awards and recognition from the California Restaurant Writers Association, the Cities of Los Angeles and El Monte, as well as other regional and national restaurant critics. Edward’s is frequently cited in the annual Zagat Restaurant Survey as the last of the low-priced steak places. Also, Edward's was featured on KCAL Channel 9's "Nine On The Town" as one of the affordable steak houses in Southern California. In 1973, the family opened a second restaurant in El Monte to capture the growing migration to the suburbs. The original restaurant was closed permanently in 1990 after crime in the deteriorating neighborhood forced the family to concentrate its efforts on the El Monte location.
