In business for over two years, Chris and Jimmy’s shuttered suddenly last week.

After opening with much fanfare and a lot of press, Chris and Jimmy’s was a family affair with the brothers as the frontmen and their parents in the back. The pastitzio was a family recipe if Snark recalls properly and Al Roker featured the restaurant on Roker on the Road.

Snark and the other half went often for Sunday brunch and a man of habit, the other half would go frequently by himself. Although the food was ample, fresh and hot, we both had one reservation. Chris always looked half-pissed and slightly irritated he had people to feed. Not enough to drive one away but by the same token a “hey guys, nice to see ya again” probably would have gone a long way. Oh well, not everyone has the award-winning personality of the Snark.

Good luck to Chris and Jimmy both. A restaurant closing is always a depressing thing especially when it’s in your own community.
