Dry-Aged Special
APRIL 23-27
Richard N. and Mary Alice Frank joined in the celebration of Pearl’s 100th birthday.
WE’RE DELIGHTED TO WISH a happy 100th birthday to Pearl Evans, a lady who is a part of Lawry’s history. For more than 40 years, Pearl was a coworker at Van de Kamp’s Holland Dutch Bakers, progressing from counter girl to supervisor at the company founded by Lawrence L. Frank and Theodore Van de Kamp.

When the original Lawry’s The Prime Rib launched in 1938, Lawrence invited Pearl to be a hostess on opening night.
One of her favorite treats is going to dinner at Lawry’s The Prime Rib.
She loved the new restaurant and the excitement of its premiere and ever since has held a special place in her heart for Lawry’s. Pearl’s family tells us that one of her favorite treats is going to dinner at Lawry’s The Prime Rib, the Five Crowns and the Tam O’Shanter Inn, and that Pearl’s many happy stories about her years with the Franks and Van de Kamps have made them feel like they, too, are a part of our family of co-workers.
