Why AD&B?
Who We Are
In 1993, the Alpogianis brothers packed up a Jeep and left Chicago, taking a road trip across this great country. They sampled the local burgers and hot dogs in every city and brought the best back home with them to the Midwest. Now, they want you to enjoy the highlights from their culinary road trip.
We’re a family business. 3 generations of family owned and operating restaurants around town. AD&B has become a dream come true serving a consistent product made from high-quality ingredients in a clean and fresh space that celebrates America’s passion (and my family’s) for the Great American Road Trip!
Proven Locations
In addition to rapidly growing both franchise and corporately owned locations, we are committed to growth in US airports and other non-traditional locations such as highways, mass transport and sporting venues. We are excited to partner with prime concessionaires, multi-unit/multi-airport operators and up and coming small minority ACDBE firms.
Our Menu
All burgers are fresh, never frozen, 1/3lb Certified Black Angus patty, served on a toasted, buttered brioche bun.
Always fresh, never frozen, serving Vienna All Beef hot dogs. Our sausages are local, nitrate + nitrate free.
Bar Opportunity
In certain areas, AD&B plans to serve alcohol in order to meet customer’s needs, work with landlord’s food & beverage plan & drive higher sales. Serving locally brewed beer is completely consistent and furthers the brother’s commitment to being local and fresh, supporting the environment while, of course, having a good time in a fun atmosphere.
Training & Support
While we advocate going at it alone when it comes to our customers selecting their own unique dog or burger, we never leave our franchisees to go at it alone when it comes to the success of their America’s Dog & Burger franchise. We have been committed to opening, developing and growing our corporate restaurants. We operate our restaurants and have developed the systems and tools to support our franchise restaurant operators.
