\"Pig<\/p>\n

After months of anticipation, Pig & Butter is getting ready to open its doors in Montclair\u2019s South End.<\/p>\n

The new restaurant from chef and owner Sherry Grimes will open Friday, Aug. 7, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by Mayor Dr. Renee Baskerville, followed by live music and festivities. It kicks off a three-day soft opening running through Sunday, Aug. 9, before regular service begins Wednesday, Aug. 12.<\/p>\n

For Grimes, the opening is more than the launch of a new restaurant \u2014 it\u2019s a return to a community where many diners are already fans.<\/p>\n

When asked what it feels like to return to Montclair with a new restaurant, Grimes didn\u2019t hesitate. \u201cIt feels good to be back home.\u201d <\/p>\n

Locals may remember Grimes from Anderson\u2019s 1949<\/a>, the Glenridge Avenue restaurant where she served as executive chef and built a following for her creative, globally inspired dishes. Now, she\u2019s returning to Montclair with Pig & Butter, a new concept at 401-3 and 401-4 Orange Road.<\/p>\n

The restaurant will bring together two side-by-side spaces: a restaurant focused on dinner, weekend brunch, cocktails and wine, and an all-day coffeehouse and eatery serving specialty coffee drinks, breakfast and lunch sandwiches.<\/p>\n

For Grimes, the new restaurant also represents a chance to try something different. \u201cWe\u2019re stepping outside the box to do dinner service for the first time,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Pig & Butter will be open Wednesday through Sunday for dinner and Friday through Sunday for brunch. The menu will reflect Grimes\u2019 creative approach to food, with dishes including Korean beef tartare, buttered croque with truffle, shrimp toast, Jamaican jerk roasted fish, Asian-inspired fried chicken served in a bucket, Spanish tuna flatbread and chard borani chip and dip.<\/p>\n

Brunch offerings will include Korean short ribs and grits, honey truffle pancakes and \u201cOde to Bar Mut\u201d French toast. Grimes said the full menu will be released during opening week.<\/p>\n

Next door, the all-day coffeehouse and eatery will offer specialty coffee creations inspired by the menu, along with Pig & Butter\u2019s take on breakfast and lunch sandwiches.<\/p>\n

The restaurant will also feature a wine program with selections from Unionville Vineyards, including cocktails made with the winery\u2019s wines.<\/p>\n
