A Jim Dandy restaurant in the city of [[Casbah]], [[Tribute]] in the [[Epsilon Eridanus System]] was destroyed during a disastrous hostage situation during [[Operation: TREBUCHET]] in [[2524]]. Two squads of [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]], led by [[Staff Sergeant]]s [[Avery Junior Johnson|Avery Johnson]] and [[Nolan Byrne]] were neutralizing [[Insurrectionist]] bomb-making facilities when the {{UNSCShip|Bum Rush}} detected a truck full of Insurrectionist bombs with its [[ARGUS]] equipment. The teams flew to the restaurant on [[AV-14 Attack VTOL|AV-14 Hornet VTOLs]], and Johnson was successful in killing one confirmed Insurrectionist leader using an [[Model 99 Special Application Scoped Rifle|M99 Special Application Rifle]] fired from the Hornet, but when Byrne's team entered the restaurant, a female Insurrectionist was discovered. When they tried to apprehend her, she took a child hostage. In the chaos that followed, the bombs were detonated, killing the woman, three Marines, and 38 civilians.<ref>[[Halo: Contact Harvest]], page 27</ref>

A Jim Dandy was also present in the city of [[New Haven]], [[New Jerusalem]] in the [[Cygnus System]] in [[2552]].<ref>''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]'', ''[[Dirt]]'', page 141</ref>
