Jim Severson<br />
Sevy’s Grill<br />
Jim “Sevy” Severson’s 37-year career in the<br />
kitchen was formulated by an e<strong>du</strong>cation<br />
at the Culinary Institute of America, where<br />
he gra<strong>du</strong>ated first in his class, and<br />
employment at Cafe Pacific, Hotel Bel-Air<br />
and Dakota’s Restaurant.<br />
As vice president of Lincoln Restaurant Group, he helped open<br />
more than 10 restaurants across the country, including The<br />
Merchant’s Restaurant (Nashville), Dakota’s (Boston), Dick Clark’s<br />
Bandstand Grills and Louise’s Trattorias. He opened his namesake,<br />
Sevy’s Grill, 13 years ago, serving Dallas and the Park Cities in an<br />
arts and crafts-influenced setting. Taking care of the guest is the<br />
first priority, and Sevy and his team deliver <strong>with</strong> great food, fine<br />
style and excellent service.<br />
Sevy’s line of retail pro<strong>du</strong>cts are made in Dallas by Canyon<br />
Specialty Foods and are available at Central Market, Sigel’s and<br />
HEB stores, as well as at the restaurant. An enjoyment of golf<br />
extends not only to the putting green on the restaurant patio, but<br />
is also incorporated in his cookbook which includes Sevy’s top 10<br />
golf tips, as well as favorite restaurant recipes.<br />
Sevy’s involvement in Dallas charities extends to the Dallas<br />
Zoo, American Diabetes Association, March of Dimes, American<br />
Institute of Wine & Food, the Dallas Farmers Market and many local<br />
schools and smaller organizations. He feels honored to be able to<br />
give back to his community and is pleased to have supported the<br />
American Heart Association for over 15 years.<br />
Sevy and his wife, Amy, have two children and have been Dallas<br />
residents for more than 25 years.<br />
