Jaamy Zarnegars and Kitty Dare Ethridge
Jaamy Zarnegars - Owner
Jaamy Zarnegars was born and raised in Iran until the age of 12. He moved to the U.S. in 1978 and began his career in restaurants while attending UNC-Greensboro. He fell in love with the industry and moved up quickly.
Jaamy learned many aspects of the service industry from impeccable mentors in North Carolina, Georgia, and Northern California. In 1993 Jaamy moved to Athens, GA where he became the GM of the famed Last Resort Grill. Six short years later he became co-owner. Athens became a true home to Jaamy and holds a dear place in his heart.
In December 2020, Jaamy decided to move to a new chapter in his life. He wanted to open a restaurant named after his late friend Kitty Dare Ethridge. Kitty had a huge influence on Jaamy's passion for food and wine, and they shared many fond memories over the years together. Kitty Dare is Jaamy’s first venture on his own and a tribute to his late friend.
