The Red Rooster Cafe, the memorable setting in the film Five Easy Pieces, was located at a restaurant next to Interstate 5 in Eugene, Oregon.
This specific establishment served as the backdrop for one of the movie's most iconic and intense scenes. In this pivotal moment, Jack Nicholson's character, Bobby Dupea, expresses his profound frustration, famously instructing a waitress to hold a chicken "between your knees" before sweeping everything off the table and onto the floor. Viewers can even observe the freeway in the background from the table where this famous sequence was filmed, solidifying its real-world location alongside Interstate 5.
