Valle’s Steak House
From 1933 until his death in 1977, Donald Valle was an American restaurateur who owned and operated Valle’s Steak House. Valle’s, a family-owned company, aggressively grew in the early 1970s but was unable to withstand the financial problems of the gas crisis. Included in this are the subsequent economic slump, rising labor expenses, the death of its founder, and the changing dining habits of its patrons. A local favorite, Valle’s Steak House is well-known for its lobster and steak dishes. When this East Coast network was established in 1933, it was performing well. However, it appears to have been overlooked, as indicated by eBay auctions of the chain’s relics.
