Jordan Monkarsh learned how to link sausage at his father's butcher shop. Using that experience, Monkarsh strove to create healthy, gourmet sausages and in 1979 created Jody Maroni's Sausage Kingdom. The Venice Beach, California, stand served sandwiches featuring the company's Bombay Curried Lamb and Yucatan Chicken sausages.
As Monkarsh's sausages grew in popularity in the Los Angeles area, Jody Maroni stands popped up at Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles International Airport and other area hotspots. Today the company is opening stands throughout the United States, offering hot dogs, hamburgers, French fries and their signature sausage sandwiches.
The Cinema Grill is a unique dining & entertainment experience, combining current feature films, a wide beverage selection including beer, wine and your favorite cocktails, along with a terrific menu. Featuring a tempting array of freshly prepared appetizers, entrees and delicious desserts. All served at your table by friendly food servers, while you enjoy the show from your comfortable swivel chair!
