The Starving Rooster

Our restaurant, originally built in 1919 for the Altman and Taylor Tractor Company was built on quality and a pride for the things you make. The “starving rooster” logo was used by the company as their brand “moniker.” As legend has it, the Altman Taylor Company made a threshing machine that was of the highest quality and didn’t leave a speck of grain behind. As a result, the roosters had nothing to eat. Well, we will make sure you don’t go hungry, but we do like the idea of taking pride in what we do and make. As a part of that philosophy, we also have a great respect for the historical nature of the building and have repurposed nearly all of the materials that were taken out of the original structure and have used them to build tables, booths and other design elements seen throughout the restaurant. We also have a great respect for our farming culture and are very proud to say that our fathers/mothers or grandfathers/grandmothers spent most of their lives making a living off of our great North Dakota land. It is out of respect for all of these things that we give you “The Starving Rooster,” a place as local as the land itself.

Service is fast but not rushed, casual yet purposeful, efficient but filled with crew banter that keeps it fun and makes the line move quickly. Crew interaction and customers ordering their favorite sub by number add to the experience of getting the world’s most authentic sub. It’s what makes Jersey Mike’s the most authentic tasting submarine sandwich available, and it’s a tradition of quality we’ll never outgrow. Jersey Mike’s Inc. oversees more than 2,500 locations open and under development nationwide, where believing that making a sub sandwich and making a difference can be one and the same.

Dave’s Hot Chicken

In a modern-day American dream story, three childhood friends, Chef Dave Kopushyan, Arman Oganesyan and Tommy Rubenyan, scraped together $900 to launch Dave’s Hot Chicken in a parking lot, portable fryers and folding tables in tow, in 2017. Dave’s Hot Chicken quickly took off, opening an East Hollywood brick-and-mortar restaurant shortly after, with support from Tommy’s brother, Gary. In 2019, the team struck a deal with Wetzel’s Pretzels co-founder and former CEO, Bill Phelps, and movie producer John Davis to begin franchising the Dave’s Hot Chicken concept throughout the U.S. and beyond.  Harkening back to an Eater LA blog that helped propel early interest in the brand, the company’s mission is to “blow their minds.” Additional brand investors include Billboard’s Artist of the Decade, Drake, former California First Lady Maria Shriver, actor Samuel L. Jackson, and Good Morning America anchor and retired NFL player Michael Strahan.
