The Kopper Kettle or the Kopper Kettle Cafeteria, was a meat-and-three restaurant chain which got its start in the Central Bank Building on 20th Street South in the early 1970s. It was owned by former hot-dog vender Ed Maluff and his wife Shirley.
In 1974 the Maluffs opened a second location at Brookwood Village. The interior was decorated with brick salvaged from the former Birmingham Ice House and benches from the Tutwiler Hotel.
The Kopper Kettle later opened a third location at 2848 18th Street South in Homewood.
A January 15, 1978 natural gas explosion in Auburn destroyed a Kopper Kettle restaurant there.
