Capizzi said she goes through the weekly submissions and chooses one each week to make.

“I get a few a week,” said Capizzi. “I go through and I read them and I respond back and I have been getting a lot ore now that people are hearing that we are doing this.”

She said she is having fun watching individuals get excited about their recipe being on a menu.

“It’s nice to see that Jackson people want their food made,” said Capizzi.

If you would like to submit a recipe to Icehouse for consideration, Capizzi said there are several ways you can submit it. You can email the recipe to: dinafaccia@gmail.com or submit it via their social media pages. You can also drop it off at the restaurant beginning Thursday, located at 112 Baltimore in Jackson.
