Last Updated on November 28, 2024 by Daily News Staff
Abilene, Texas, get ready! The much-loved Capriotti’s Sandwich Shop is set to open a new location right in your backyard, at 3655 Catclaw Dr., this coming August 27. Known for its delicious hand-crafted cheese steaks, freshly roasted turkey subs, and so much more, Capriotti’s is a name that brings water to the mouths of sandwich lovers everywhere. And now, thanks to a longtime fan, these unique flavors are making their way to Abilene.
A Dream Turned Reality
Local entrepreneur Matt Farler is the man behind the magic. His journey with Capriotti’s started during his college years at the University of Nevada in Las Vegas, where he discovered what would become his favorite sandwich, the Capastrami—an irresistible concoction of hot pastrami, Swiss cheese, Russian dressing, and coleslaw. Capriotti’s was more than just a food spot for Matt and his friends; it was a second home, a place of warmth and connection. Now, Matt wants to bring that same sentiment to his own community in Abilene.
“In college, Capriotti’s was more than a sandwich shop—it was a place of connection and comfort,” Farler shared. “I am so thrilled to be able to bring the franchise to the people of Abilene for the very first time; to the community that my family and I call home!”
More Than Just Sandwiches
Indeed, Capriotti’s is not just about sandwiches. It embodies a 40-year tradition of culinary excellence—slow-roasting whole, all-natural turkeys in-house every day. Their expansive menu features a variety of mouth-watering options including The Bobbie, voted “The Greatest Sandwich in America” by an AOL.com reader’s poll, crafted from oven-roasted turkey, cranberry sauce, stuffing, and mayo. True to its reputation, the cheese steaks can be enjoyed with premium steak, chicken, or Impossible plant-based meat.
A Boost to the Local Economy
The new location will not only satiate taste buds but also bring new job opportunities to Abilene, supporting the local economy. Plus, with Capriotti’s commitment to convenience, sandwich lovers can look forward to placing orders online, on the phone, or via third-party delivery services—ensuring that everyone can enjoy their subs however they prefer.
For the Fans
Dedicated fans and new customers alike can take advantage of the CAPAddicts Rewards app, available on iOS and Android, to earn points, redeem rewards, and even score some free food. Whether it’s a quick lunch, a family dinner, or a special event, Capriotti’s offers something for everyone with options ranging from cold sub party trays to hot homemade meatball bars for catering.
As Matt Farler’s dreams of sharing his favorite sandwich shop with his community come to fruition, the people of Abilene are in for a delightful culinary treat with this new Capriotti’s location. Whether you’re a fan of a classic turkey sub, a cheeky cheese steak, or looking to explore new flavors, Capriotti’s at 3655 Catclaw Dr. is the new go-to spot you won’t want to miss.

Mix a Little Luck into Your Big Game Menu

Mix a Little Luck into Your Big Game Menu
(Family Features) Picture this: Your team is down three points, but the taste of victory is just one field goal away. Sometimes, all you need is a little luck and a whole lot of guac. After all, an estimated 250 million pounds of avocados are consumed during the Big Game each year, according to Hass Avocado Board Volume Data. That’s enough to fill 30 million football helmets with guac – but filling your belly instead is a win-win for good luck and great flavor. Dip into good fortune this football season with help from Avocado From Mexico’s Guac Guru, Rob Riggle, whose visionary Good Luck Guac recipe is ready to share just in time for the Big Game. Whether you’re in it for the football, the commercials or the snacks, this recipe can score major points with your entire crew.
Crafted for fans of every team, this bold, golden twist on a favorite football snack is infused with ingredients associated with good luck – edible gold flakes and pomegranate seeds – to get you through the most nail-biting moments of the game. The star ingredient is fresh, high-quality Avocados From Mexico that offer good taste, good nutrition, and good times. Beyond delicious dips, chips and lots of fun, hosting a watch party can also be a lot of work. Make sure your hosting duties don’t create interference or put you on the sidelines with these tips: Get a jumpstart on party prep. The day before the game, tidy up your space and prepare as much of the food as you can. For dishes best served fresh – like guac – take care of the ingredient prep, like chopping veggies. Create comfortable seating and viewing areas. For a watch party, you’ll want plenty of room for guests to sit comfortably where they can see the screen and have easy access to the guac. If there’s not enough space in the living room to fit everyone, consider bringing a TV to the kitchen so people can snack and watch at the same time. Know your guests. From non-alcoholic beverage options to additional entertainment like board games and kid-friendly activities, become a next-level party host by providing a setup tailored to your guests’ needs. One thing almost everyonecan agree on: Guac made with Avocados From Mexico can be the star of nearly any party’s snacking lineup. Make it your team’s lucky day with more game day recipes at AvocadosFromMexico.com/recipe.
