How Immigrants Have Transformed America’s Gas Stations | Eater
"A Middle Eastern restaurant that began when an immigrant family converted a two-bay car garage into a gas station and then added an open-kitchen eatery to show customers the freshness and quality of their food. Known for bold, fragrant flavors (garlic and olive oil often draw people in), it quickly gained a strong local following and expanded into multiple locations; only the original Berkley site still operates out of a gas station. The business grew as a family operation, with successive generations helping scale the concept, though expansion and some locations were impacted by the pandemic." - Trisha Gopal
