Four Brothers Dvd Opening
Rodney Liuzzo
So the brothers kept it quiet when one of them, Quang, took the lead in opening the inaugural 7 Leaves store, an 1,100-square-foot space in an aging Westminster strip mall. And they hushed up the launching of their second location two years later, next door in Garden Grove.
Not until they set up their fifth store in 2015 did their parents learn about the operation.Chanh Nguyen, their father, recalled seeing the cafe for the first time while workers were still laying down plumbing.
Since then, the 7 Leaves chain has grown to 22 locations in California, Nevada and Texas. Locally, its core clientele includes many students from USC, UCLA, Cal State Fullerton and other Southern California schools, who park themselves for hours at the cafes, huddled over their laptops and nursing one of the $4.50 drinks.
Born in Vietnam when the communist country still was reeling from decades of war, the brothers escaped by boat with their parents in 1983. After running out of gas, then drifting at sea for seven days, they finally were plucked from the ocean by rescuers and taken to Palawan, a refugee settlement in the Philippines. Eventually, the family went to California, constantly moving and trying to scrape by.
Vinh Nguyen, the eldest, remembers that when he was 8,his family squeezed into a converted garage in El Monte, where his parents told him to take care of the younger kids while they went to work. As the years progressed, the brothers always would shadow one another, sharing beds, backpacks, clothes.
From an upper-floor hotel room in Bangkok, Quang would watch a middle-aged man make and sell Thai tea and Thai coffee, gathering a following. He used a simple contraption, but every day there were long lines. He poured the drink into a bag and plopped a straw inside, selling each bag for about a dollar.
Initially, there was no grand plan. And though the first cafe opened in January 2012, with a sign hawking coffee, juice and banh mi, their concept was evolving and they were still testing drinks. The siblings shared a devotion to the centuries-old art of chopping, peeling, cooking, stirring and pressing by hand, extracting flavor from raw ingredients such as fresh pandan leaves, mung bean, taro root and passion fruit.
Businesses and non-profit organizations regularly open and move in Saskatoon. Today the StarPhoenix talks to brothers Mohan and Sohan Singh. Together, along with their two other brothers, Rajinder and Puran, the foursome opened Darbar Indian Restaurant in downtown Saskatoon in March.
The four brothers were all born in India where they each learned to cook. Mohan came to Canada 25 years ago with the others gradually following over the years. Sohan and Puran studied hotel management in India before coming to Canada. The family originally opened Darbar Restaurant in Regina five years ago, and another location in Warman last year. They are proud to serve authentic Indian food with their own family recipes, offering well over 100 food items.
Mohan: We have tandoori kababs, cooked in our clay oven. The Darbar grill is our most popular tandoori kabab, but all our kababs are popular. The Darbar grill has an assortment of four different boneless chicken kababs with different tastes. There are seek, rider green chicken tikka, regular chicken tikka and paneer tikka. It comes with cottage cheese and fresh garlic naan bread and chutney.
Sohan: Lamb rogan josh and Lamb tikka masala are popular lamb dishes. Fish malabar curry is a popular seafood entre from South India. Fish malabar curry is seer fish in a coconut base gravy and southern spices. We marinade it in batter and fry it in oil. Paneer tikka masala is grilled fresh with Indian cheese, peppers and onions and cooked in the clay oven.
Mohan: We have an express lunch to go. Butter chicken express comes with rice and salad. Another one is chana masala, which comes with rice and chickpeas for vegetarian. We do a lot of to go orders. One day in Regina we had 100 lunch express.

The year was 1976. It was the collaboration of the four brothers that gave way to the name Four Brothers Pizza Inn and its continuing success. During that same year, the famous Greek salad dressing recipe was formulated. Since then the brothers expanded their portfolio of restaurants to 9 Four Brothers while adding The Boathouse in Lakeville, CT. The family uses their local farm to supply the restaurants with certain dairy products and their olive orchards in Greece for olive oil. Today, people throughout New England have discovered from personal experience that the best pizza and salads, among other delicious menu items, is to be found at your local Four Brothers location.
The name says it all, but the story of these brothers is one worth telling. They are brothers, not in the traditional sense, but rather born from shared experiences of blood and brothers in arms. They have all served our country with honor, respect, and a savage resolve. Their bond is tighter than many biological families. A brotherhood forged in blood, sweat, and steel.
The four brothers are Bryan, Chris, Joe, and Dan and they all enjoy mead. Their name and vision was clear: combine their ancestral background with a drink fit for the battle-hardened warrior. So, they created an old-world product using only the best all-natural ingredients to produce a drink they believe is worthy of the gods.
Bryan enlisted in the Army in 2008 as a Combat Medic and is still currently serving. To date, he has had two overseas deployments with one to Iraq and another to Afghanistan. During this time, he became close friends with Chris and Joe.
Dan enlisted as active duty in the Air Force late 2003 as an Air Transportation Airmen and immediately deployed as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom in early 2004 under the 5th Expeditionary Air Mobility Squadron. During this time, he was responsible for the secure shipment of classified material and deceased personnel during the early days of the war on terrorism. While deployed he worked with Mortuary Affairs to prepare and send home our real heroes who paid the ultimate price. A few years later he met Bryan and Chris through Joe.
A glass of mead can be consumed in varying ways. While sweet, you can certainly imbibe like a beer, but I find it more enjoyable to drink like a wine, but I have also tried and enjoyed sipping on mead like a do a whiskey. Neat, and slow.
I recommend people enjoy our mead surrounded by kinsmen, sharing stories of good times and days gone by. I like to raise my horn and reflect upon my ancient past, when my ancestors drank this same drink of gods and men!
This intangible connection between golfers is magnified even more when considering James and John McCord. The brothers who hail from Tullahoma have known each other their entire lives, so that level of comfort flows naturally onto the golf course.
Making their presence felt in this event is nothing new for the McCords. They lost in the finals of match play in 2022, and advanced to the semifinals in 2019. James McCord already has a pair of Tennessee Golf Association state championships under his belt in 1999 and 2003 when competing in the State Four-Ball events.
Three teams are two behind tied for third after posting rounds of 6-under 66. Those pairings include Scott Negrotto of Kingsport and Rick Hudson of Boiling Springs; Clay Uselton and Alan Jones of Tullahoma; and David Burris of Manchester and Jay Potter of Tullahoma.
The final round of stroke play will be played on Tuesday, with the top eight teams advancing to match play. Both the Round of 8 and semifinals will be staged on Wednesday, with the championship final taking place Thursday.
The Super Seniors will complete another round of stroke play Tuesday, sending the top four teams into match play. The semifinals will be held on Wednesday, followed by the championship finals on Thursday.
Thursday evening's game with the Rocket City Trash Pandas was postponed due to rain. The Lookouts and Trash Pandas will try it again on Friday night at 6:35 p.m. CDT and then will have a doubleheader ... more

An older woman, Evelyn Mercer, is murdered at a convenience store in Highland Park, Michigan when a robbery occurs that results in the death of the store clerk and her, the sole witness. The incident brings her four adopted sons back home to Detroit, Michigan to find out what happened. The oldest is a lifelong criminal, hot-tempered Bobby; the second oldest is family man and Union construction worker Jeremiah; the third oldest is an ex-hustler and former US Marine, Angel; and the youngest is aspiring rock musician Jack.
During their investigation of the crime of what seems to be a simple robbery gone wrong, they discover that it was a cover for a hit put out on Evelyn after interrogating the witness who turned out to be involved.
The brothers track down the pair of hired guns who shot and killed Evelyn, and when they refuse to give up any information, they are executed by the enraged Bobby and Angel. The next day, the brothers' friend turned Detroit Police Lieutenant Green and his partner Detective Fowler confront the brothers about the murders. While the brothers deny involvement, Lieutenant Green warns them that their interference with Evelyn's case is ill-advised and that it would put them in over their heads.
