History
Yesterdog was founded in 1976 in Eastown by Bill Lewis.[1] By 2008, Bill Lewis, a former Mr. Fables employee, apparently owns the Mr. Fables trademark and would be allowed access to the Mr. Fables secret recipes if he wished to restart the Mr. Fables restaurant.[4] In February 2008, the Yesterdog building's windows were blown out by a gas explosion in a building across the street.[5] In the April 2010 issue of Esquire magazine, the restaurant was named one of "among great spots around the country 'Where Men Eat.'"[2] The eatery cited its 8% increase in 2011 sales to the auto bailout and the June 2011 stop of Barack Obama's reelection campaign.[1]
The fictional restaurant hangout of the characters in the 1999 film American Pie, "Dog Years", is based on Yesterdog.[3]
