Winky’s has original Big Jim BBQ, Fellini’s now has lunch

by Dave McNair

If you’re feeling hungry, Dish has a couple of news items you might be interested in. First off, Juanita “Winky” Hunt, who revived Big Jim’s on Angus Road and re-named it Winky’s, tells us that they are now serving the original Big Jim’s BBQ. As was previously reported, Brent Lunnen, bought Big Jim’s old catering operation on 10th Street, and according to Hunt he’s hired Big Jim’s old cook and cooked up some BBQ with the same recipe.

“We sampled a bit of it the other day,” says Hunt, “and it’s just like the original.”

Second, it appears that Fellini’s #9 on the Downtown Mall is now serving lunch. There’s a your choice of salad, pasta, and bread option for $7.95 that includes a choice of spaghetti and meatballs or plain sauce, lasagna, cannelloni, and shrimp with linguine. There are also antipasti like caprese and bruschetta, and desserts like tiramisu, carrot cake, cheese cake, and a gelato of the day.

Meat eaters line up for the prime rib served in this dark unpretentious spot with an old-school feel. Be ready to step back in time when the cheesey food arrives with the bread stix and the lettuce wedge comes with the big dollop of Thousand Island.
