Sponsor Our ArticlesSan Antonio’s beloved Hayden deli is facing significant challenges at its Alon Town Centre location, which has struggled since its opening in early 2023. Owner Adam Lampinstein reached out to the community for support, as the new branch has not performed as expected amid a slowing economy. Despite these hurdles, the deli continues to offer comforting dishes and is engaging in a chicken sandwich competition to attract local attention. Community support has been rallied by fellow restaurateur Chad Carey, along with incentives to encourage patronage.
San Antonio, a city known for its rich tapestry of culture and flavor, is home to a local treasure—the Hayden, a Jewish-style deli that has been bringing joy to diners since it opened its doors in 2020. Not content with just one location, the deli expanded to a second spot in Alon Town Centre in early 2023. However, less than a year later, the new location is battling some serious hurdles that are threatening its future.
After making the leap to a new location, managing owner Adam Lampinstein quickly found that expanding a beloved establishment comes with challenges that go beyond just serving delicious food. In a heartfelt newsletter shared on February 7, Lampinstein opened up to the community, sharing that the Alon location has not performed as expected after eight months in operation. While the original Broadway site has been doing just fine, the new branch has faced serious struggles in carving out its niche.
With the slowing economy affecting many small businesses nationwide, the hurdles have mounted, leading to uncertainty about the future of the Alon location. Lampinstein’s appeal to the local community was more than just to grab their attention; it was a call for support during a pivotal moment.
The Hayden is famous for its signature dishes, which have become staples in the hearts (and stomachs) of its regulars. If you’ve ever tasted their matzo ball soup, pastrami sandwiches, or chicken and waffles, you’ll understand why so many are rallying to help the deli through this tough time. The menu is a beautiful blend of traditions and regional flavors, enriched by a love for culinary creativity. The Hayden isn’t just a deli; it’s a warm gathering place for friends and families to come together over great food.
In a testament to the interconnectedness of the food scene in San Antonio, fellow restaurateur Chad Carey, owner of Barbaro, has stepped up to encourage his social media followers to support Lampinstein and his vision for the Hayden. Using the power of Instagram, Carey highlights Lampinstein’s character and culinary talent, encouraging his followers to show their love for this local gem.
For the lucky supporters, there’s a sweet incentive too! Carey is offering a $100 gift card to The Hayden for randomly selected followers who participate in his engaging social media post, reminding everyone just how much community support matters.
The Hayden isn’t just resting on its laurels. It’s also entered a fan-voted **chicken sandwich competition** with a thrilling new creation called The Wild One. This mouthwatering sandwich boasts an extra-crispy chicken tender adorned with a stuffed poblano pepper and tomatillo salsa, all on a soft Sara Lee Artesano bun. Now that sounds irresistible!
The voting for the sandwich competition ends on September 27, and it promises to be an exciting endeavor that showcases the deli’s commitment to local tastes while adding a unique twist.
As the Hayden continues to serve up its popular dishes for lunch, brunch, dinner, and even cocktails, it invites the local community to rally behind its Alon location. The restaurant represents a melting pot of flavors that embodies the heart of San Antonio’s rich gastronomic culture.
In these trying times, sometimes all a business needs is a little love and support from the people it serves. For everyone who believes in the power of great food and local establishments, now is the time to embrace The Hayden and help keep this cherished deli thriving.
