Restaurateur George Katakalidis Launches EXY
Brings Chic Greek to San Diego’s Vibrant Gaslamp District

San Diego, CA- George Katakalidis, restaurateur and founder of Daphne’s Greek Cafe, the largest fast-casual Greek restaurant chain in the United States, today announced plans to open EXY restaurant and lounge. Located at the corner of 6th & F Streets, EXY will feature leading edge Greek cuisine, premium cocktails, and an extensive wine collection.

“We are very excited to announce the launch of EXY,” said Katakalidis. “The new restaurant will fill the demand for an upscale, chic, sophisticated Greek restaurant and lounge in the famous Gaslamp Quarter.”

“The idea of ‘Chic Greek’ was an appealing one for several reasons,” continued Katakalidis. “It allowed us to continue to cater to fans of Greek food while offering an upscale and social environment with an ultra-appealing loungy interior. Guests can expect premium Greek cuisine, a magnificent bar and wine cellar, and private party rooms which creates a fun, hip, informal atmosphere.”

EXY will celebrate its Grand Opening in December 2007, according to Katakalidis. “Our Grand Opening event will be a representation of what the EXY scene will be for years to come; sleek, sexy and metropolitan hip. Our 6th Street location places us at the center of the vibrant Gaslamp district, where ‘Chic Greek’ will fit in perfectly.”

Daphne’s Greek Cafe Unveils New Design Concept

-Tustin, CA location first in California to feature Fresh, Greek Look-

SAN DIEGO, CA –July 10, 2007- Daphne’s Greek Cafe unveiled its new design concept at the opening of its Tustin, California location. The new restaurant is the first in California to feature the redesigned interior, which incorporates greater use of natural light, cozy, inviting booths, warm colors and fabric, as well as a commissioned portrait of Daphne, the Greek goddess of excellence for which the restaurant is named.

“Our goal in redesigning the interior space was to maximize guest comfort, adding to the overall enjoyment of the Daphne’s dining experience”, expressed Ed Hoban, vice president of development. “By adding in four-person booths, drop lighting, additional artistic elements, and warming up the interior, we added that special touch of sophistication that we think our loyal guests will embrace”.

Currently, the Denver and Boulder, Colorado locations feature the new design concept.

Hyde Park, NY. George Katakalidis, a former professional soccer player who is the founder and CEO of the Daphne's Greek Cafe restaurant chain, addressed associate degree recipients at The Culinary Institute of America (CIA) on Friday, September 8, 2006.

"In my years of travel, I got a unique perspective on how people live, what they like, and what they're all about," Mr. Katakalidis told 68 graduates in Culinary Arts and Baking and Pastry Arts. "As you know, we are in the people-pleasing business. Use the education and knowledge you received at the CIA to make the world a better place, one plate at a time."

Mr. Katakalidis was the captain of the Canadian National Youth Soccer Team before embarking on a professional career in indoor soccer with the New York Arrows, San Jose Earthquakes, and San Diego Sockers. He retired in the late 1980s after suffering a broken toe, then opened the first Daphne's in San Diego in 1991. He has since turned it into the largest casual Greek restaurant chain in North America, with nearly 70 units in California and Arizona.

The CIA held a second graduation on September 8, at which 64 students received their baccalaureate degrees in Culinary Arts Management and Baking and Pastry Arts Management.
