Jimmy D's District

Where to Enjoy a Glass of Chardonnay This Summer in Chicago | Eater

"Demetrios “Jimmy D” Demarakis, the founder of Jimmy D’s, was the epitome of the American dream. Born in a small village in Greece, he moved to the U.S. in the ’60s to build a better life for his family. He fell in love with Arlington Heights and decided to open his own restaurant there in 1986. While his son took over when he passed in 2013, the spot still maintains its same warmth, hospitality, and dedication to good food and drink. Listening to live music and sipping on a chilled glass of Harken Chardonnay alongside a grilled chicken pita with feta and creamy tzatziki sauce sounds like the perfect way to pass a summer day." - Ariel Kanter
