Jim’s Place East Opens Early for Easter Sunday Luncheon:

Offers Greek and American Menu, Easter Eggs for Youngsters

MEMPHIS, TENN. (March 12, 2009)…Jim’s Place East, normally closed on Sundays, is pleased to open its doors for an encore Easter luncheon. The Greek family owned restaurant at 5560 Shelby Oaks Dr. will open a half-hour earlier this year – at 10:30 a.m. on April 12 – to accommodate early service churchgoers. Call for reservations, 388.7200 ext. 4.

Jim’s Easter menu reflects Greek and American specialty dishes. Guests who choose to “Go Greek” can select from roast leg of lamb, prepared with a special blend of Grecian spices, and souflima (a savory pork entrée made from an original recipe).

Guests with a taste for American or Southern dishes can choose from Mississippi pecan crusted catfish, Norwegian salmon prepared with lemon oregano sauce, Low Country crawfish and shrimp, tilapia grilled or broiled in lemon-garlic butter sauce, grilled rib eye steak, chicken Parmesan, batter dipped veal cutlet, and ‘extra select’ Gulf oysters. Each entrée comes with a choice of two vegetable or fruit sides with a selection ranging from cold asparagus mousse, fresh cut fruit and garden fresh turnip greens to creamed Idaho potatoes, sautéed yellow squash, Italian seasoned spinach, crisp garden salad with freshly made dressings and soup of the day. Each meal is accompanied by Jim’s homemade bread.

While dining, guests can enjoy the view. Almost every window in the restaurant offers a view much like that of a wooded retreat including the occasional scurrying squirrel. Or, guests can opt to dine outside on the beautiful patio. And children will want to explore the grounds at Jim’s Place on Sunday in search of Easter eggs.
