Very unusual start.

Bob Crechale died on Christmas Eve 2025. His restaurant closed on February 14, 2026 (Valentine's Day). This was indeed the end of an era.
I grew up in Greenville and came to Jackson in 1964 to go to school. Then after spending two years in the Air Force I returned to Jackson in 1974. Over the course of time, I began to realize that most of the best restaurants in the city of Jackson were owned and operated by Greeks. Before coming to Jackson, I had dined only at the Rotisserie, the Belmont, and a Primos.
