What happened after Man v. Food?
Schilo's Delicatessen appeared as a local-flavor stop in Man v. Food's San Antonio episode (Travel Channel, host Casey Webb, aired 2019-11-12), spotlighting German-Texan deli fare such as split pea soup, the Reuben sandwich, and house-made root beer. According to the restaurant's own site, schilos.com, Schilo's has served the River Walk area since 1917, making it, by its own description, the oldest restaurant in San Antonio. The deli's homemade root beer, bottled in partnership with Alamo Beer, was highlighted alongside its hot German mustard. Since the episode, schilos.com has continued listing current hours of 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. daily and has added a grab-and-go window for quicker service, per the site. A Yelp listing for Schilo's, at 424 E Commerce St, shows reviews updated in September 2026. The business also maintains a Wikipedia entry describing its century-long history at the same downtown address.
