    About Arthur Treacher's

    Did you know fish and chips were the first convenience food? Back in the 1860s, a London restaurant called Malin's of Bow began serving deep-fried whitefish with a dousing of malt vinegar accompanied by oversized fries. The fish and chips craze soon spread throughout England, and the dish became the world's first convenience food. In 1969 the founders of Arthur Treacher's purchased Malin's and with it, the original fish and chips recipe. Since then we've adjusted the menu to accommodate American tastes and expanded it to include shrimp, clams, fried chicken, and popular side orders including tasty hush puppies and unique cole slaw. All of which makes Arthur Treacher's Fish & Chips the traditional English meal perfect for today's All-American appetite!

    About Another Broken Egg Cafe

    Ron Green opened his first restuarant, The Broken Egg Cafe, in Mandeville, Louisiana, in 1996. A customer's request to "please open another Broken Egg" became the inspiration behind the name of future locations, opened first by Green and his brother and later, starting in 2005, by franchisees.
