Housed in a Reconstruction-era livery stable on the Courthouse Square, City Grocery began serving north Mississippi’s most innovative faire with Chef John Currence at the helm of his first restaurant venture. Sixteen years later, Currence and company have seen a slew of openings under their instruction and retain ownership of two exceptionally successful ventures in Oxford; including, Bouré (an up-scale, full service family concept), City Grocery Catering Company-a full service catering endeavor and Big Bad Breakfast, an ingredient-driven breakfast concept and smokehouse set to open in May of 2008.
