There are plenty of places to eat in Callaway County. But Bill Nigus envisioned something more than just another place to go and grab a bite.

"We originally wanted to have a unique environment where people could go and feel like they had an experience rather than going to get a meal," Nigus, a pastor at Central Christian Church, said. "A meal is great and you can go and get it just about everywhere but we wanted to have something they could experience."

That experience turned into JC's, a restaurant that Nigus, along with his wife DeAnne and congregation members Jerry and Nina Hollan, officially opened earlier this week. It is one of two restaurants - along with Mexican joint El Vaquero - which opened in Fulton this summer, giving patrons a couple more options to mull when thinking of where to have dinner.
