Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, Grandpa Sam took Marty to the local diner every Sunday. It was their special time to discuss weekly events while dining on pancakes, French toast and milkshakes. In his teens, Marty worked after school in the local Deli/Bagel shop. That's when he developed his passion for food. After high school Marty landed at the University of Maryland where he studied business and became a huge "Terps" fan. Even after graduating from college and returning to Manhattan, Marty traveled to numerous University of Maryland Basketball and football games. It was at one of the Maryland homecoming football games where Marty met his future business partner, Bruce. They each discovered they had the same things in common, the love of the "Terps" and the love of good food, especially New York diners. Unexpectedly, on another trip to Maryland to see an ACC Basketball game, Marty met and fell in love with his wife who resided in Maryland. So Marty moved to Maryland and got married. This was the perfect time to bring Bruce and Marty's dream of a diner to fruition. Their goal was to create a mom and pop place, fresh homemade food, top notch service, with a "Cheers" type atmosphere where everybody knows your name. Thus, Star Diner was born. Come introduce yourself... located in Kentlands.
