Bacon and Butter, Midtown’s newest breakfast, lunch and brunch restaurant, opened on Sunday, and Chef Billy Zoellin said Tuesday that the first day was a learning experience, but the restaurant is now running smoothly.

“Our most popular dish has been the biscuits and gravy,” he said, adding that all of the food options are his own creations and the focus is on freshness.

“We take the classics and give them a whimsical twist,” he added.

One of the dishes he is most proud of, he said, is his grablox, which features house-cured salmon with chive mascarpone, shaved celery and crimson lentil salad and is served with house-made soda bread.

Zoellin previously worked at The Golden Bear in Midtown and was the chef there when the Food Network show “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives” featured the location.
