MEET JIMMY WADE, owner of Heaven City Restaurant

Jimmy Wade (Jimmy as he is known to everyone) was born and raised on the Chesapeake Bay in Hampton, Virginia where as a boy he played on the piers and helped the fishermen dock and unload the fresh catch of the day.

Joining the local fire department at the young age of 16, Jimmy got his first "taste" of cooking by creating dishes for the other fire fighters, often receiving ribbing from the guys saying that he missed his calling. As years past, Jimmy continued to refine his craft by taking up part-time cooking jobs at a variety of establishments.

A career-ending injury during a fire call prompted Jimmy to take a leap and open his own restaurant called Smokin' Jim's Firehouse Grill in Lexington, Virginia, where he was well known both for his exquisite cooking and his creative catering.

While filming the movie "War of the Worlds" Steven Spielberg's and Tom Cruise's crew reserved Jimmy's quaint restaurant and enjoyed some of his comfort fusion cooking. Jimmy also forged a unique relationship with both the Virginia Military Institute (VMI) and Washington and Lee University, where he catered all special events, from tailgate parties to large graduation parties including a Law School graduation dinner for over 1000 guests.

Distinctive among old-style restaurants, Heaven City has a flair of southern hospitality

In 2005, Jimmy found his way to Wisconsin, and his new passion - the historic Heaven City Restaurant, known as one of the best Milwaukee restaurants. Jimmy has brought many of his special touches to the restaurant and because of his extensive culinary background, you can be sure every dish that leaves the kitchen has been carefully screened by Jimmy himself. He can also be seen nightly greeting tables and making sure guests are receiving impeccable attention from his staff.

Jimmy has expanded the comfort of Heaven City style service through catering and an extensive patio atmosphere with entertainment every summer. Through his efforts, Heaven City Restaurant is gaining a reputation among brides as the perfect place to hold your wedding rehearsal dinner, ceremony, reception and gift opening - the only thing Jimmy can't offer is to marry the couple himself. Whether it's a business party or private event catering, a casual barbeque or black tie event catering, Heaven City's banquet and catering services for parties and other special events offer a dining experience that is sure to tease and delight many palates.
