Del Who? Christner’s Prime Steak & Lobster Makes Name Change Official

 Christner portraitDavid, Carole and Alice Christner in front of Russ Christner’s familiar outfit at the Celebration of C gathering Sunday to commemorate the restaurant’s name change.

Allow me to introduce you to Orlando’s newest restaurant. You know, the one that’s been around for the past 20 years.

On June 2, Christner’s officially dropped Del Frisco’s from its name and hereafter will be known as Christner’s Prime Steak & Lobster. Nothing else has changed. It still has the same owners, still the same skilled, professional staff, and still the same high-quality oh-my-God wonderful steaks.

So why the name change?

Because the agreement between Russ Christner and Dale Wamstad, the original owner of Del Frisco’s, had come to an end. But what does that mean for one of the area’s most highly regarded restaurants?

I’ll explain it all here, plus show you some photos from the big Celebration of C party.

 

 This restaurant is a fine legacy for founder Russ Christner. In my book, it has always been Christner’s Prime Steak & Lobster. Now it’s just official.
