Chef Jim “Sevy” Severson

Jim “Sevy” Severson’s 35 year career in the kitchen was formulated by an education at the Culinary Institute of America, where he graduated first in his class, and employment at Cafe Pacific, Hotel Bel-Air and Dakota’s Restaurant.

As Vice President of Lincoln Restaurant Group he helped open over 10 restaurants across the country, including The Merchant’s Restaurant (Nashville), Dakota’s (Boston), Dick Clark’s Bandstand Grills and Louise’s Trattorias. He opened his namesake, Sevy’s Grill 13 years ago serving Dallas and the Park Cities in an arts and crafts influenced setting. Taking care of the guest is the first priority, and he and his team deliver with great food, fine style and excellent service. Sevy’s line of retail products are made in Dallas by Canyon Specialty Foods and are available at Central Market, Sigel’s, HEB stores, as well as at the restaurant.

An enjoyment of golf extends not only to the putting green on the restaurant patio, it is incorporated in his cook book, which includes his Top Ten Golf Tips as well as favorite restaurant recipes. Jim’s involvement in Dallas charities also extends to the Dallas Zoo, American Diabetes Association, March of Dimes, American Institute of Wine & Food and the Dallas Farmers’ Market, as well as many local schools and smaller organizations. He feels honored to be able to give back to his community and pleased to have supported the American Heart Association for over 13 years.

He and his wife, Amy, have two children and have been Dallas residents for over 25 years.
