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 />
