The Story of Rooster's | Celebrating 35 Years in Jackson

Rooster's, a mainstay in Fondren for 16 years, celebrates its 35th anniversary in metro Jackson. The popular burger and chicken restaurant opened on Roach Street in downtown Jackson in 1984, the year Wendy's launched its "Where's the Beef" commercials. Rooster's new mesquite burgers were a crowd pleaser at a time when beef was king. Tim and Nathan Glenn tell the Rooster's story in this video. | http://glennfoods.com
