W. D. Deli is a cafe and catering business in San Antonio, Texas, specializing in soups, salads, and sandwiches. Since 1990, our goal has been to provide our customers with delicious, fresh food in healthy portions at reasonable prices. We take a lot of pride in the fact that we have scores of regular customers who have been enjoying lunch at the deli pretty much since we opened the doors. Come by sometime soon. And if you're not already one of those regulars, let us try to win you over.
Born in New York, and then transplanted to Tulsa, Wayne Douglas Beers has had a life-long love affair with food and entertaining. If you ask Wayne if he learned to cook from his mom, he is likely to tell you that his mother never made anything for dinner but reservations. The truth is that Marie is a great cook, the kind that cooks her sauce all day long. But I digress. Wayne found out in the late 1980s that dental school was not what he considered his calling, and started working in earnest toward becoming the restauranteur he is today. Wayne spent some time working as a waiter on the riverwalk, as well as some time at Cappy's on Loop 410 (both in San Antonio). Soon, Wayne began doing some freelance catering and researching the feasability of opening W. D. Deli. Wayne opened W. D. Deli on McCullough Avenue in Olmos Park, Texas in April of 1990.
