Jimmy's

Oh, lets sing a song of the happy lunch, a sandwich from Jimmy's will make that happen. I love Jimmy's. It is a Guy Lunch Place. The noticeable majority of the people who walk in the door to buy lunch are guys. The first time I ate there, I ordered a muffuletta. Eating that sandwich was an incredibly sensual experience because the olive oil has a way of escaping from the sandwich and running down one's hands and arms!

Jimmy's is actually an Italian grocery in East Dallas. In addition to the lunch counter, it is possible to get a wide range of Italian grocery products. The store is on the northwest corner of Bryan and Fitzhugh. 4901 Bryan St, Dallas, TX 75206; (214) 823-6180

Standing at the lunch counter, waiting for my sandwich, reading the list of other things available, I saw that they sell pizza dough that can be taken home and turned into home-made fresh pizza. That inspired me to search out other ways to make pizza dough at home, a great winter home activity.

The family who runs the store has a long and interesting history of being in the grocery business in Dallas. They ran a grocery on 2nd before moving to the present location in 1966. The store burned in 2004. It took 13 months to get the store back to operational.
