    About Jody Maroni's Sausage Kingdom

    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.

    About Tin Drum Asia Cafe

    Founded in 2003, Tin Drum was created to reflect the bustling street-side cafes found throughout Asia. With the limited service operating model of fast casual and the dining experience of full casual, Tin Drum Asia Cafe is setting a new standard for the Fast Casual Dining franchise model. We call it "Fresh Casual." Our menu carries bold and broad flavor profiles; all food is cooked fresh to order in an open kitchen; the food is delivered to the guest at their table rather than being picked up at a counter; all this taking place in an environment with an elevated decor meant to evoke a bustling Asian street market.
