Back Home To Eat Veal
Many years ago John Abele was credited with introducing the "veal" sandwich to the public of Wellston and vicinity. Last week John's son, Raymond Abele and family came to the restaurant where his father worked for so many years, and ordered --you guessed it-- a veal sandwich.
Raymond has been away from Wellston since he was graduated from the old Saints peter and Paul's High School, going to the Detroit area in the early 190s. He worked for the Burroughs Corporation and is now retired.
He and his wife, Peggy, are shown eating and enjoying a veal at the Family Restaurant, successor to Abele's, where with their daughter and son-in-law on a visit to Wellston and area, seeing old friends and in particularly a cousin who is a patient at the Huston Nursing Home.
Raymond and Peggy live at 12519 Echo Valley W. Farmington Hills, Michigan 48018. Farmington is a suburb of Detroit.
There has been some controversy and even not total agreement on the part of the Abee family as to who actually invented the veal sandwicj. The late John Abele once told of its beginning in an interview in the former Wellston Sentinel.
The "veal" is not actually veal at all, but is pork tenderloin pounded out very thin, then breaded and deep fried. It has been a favorite sandwich throughout the years, and is featured in most local restaurants. In Wellston, the sandwich is called "Wellston Veal" and in Jackson is called "Jackson County Veal" but that's all right. We all live in Jackson County.
There is no longer an Abele's Restaurant in Wellston, although the restaurant founded under the Abele name continues as the Wellston Family Restaurant owned and operated by John Jackson.
The restaurant went through several gradual changes in name. First it was Abele's, then Abele and Gast, when Fred Gast bought and interest. From there it changed to Gast and Norris when John Norris joined the firm, and then finally was changed to the Norris Restaurant operated first by John Norris and later by his son Max, who sold it to Jackson.
