The Buttery Restaurant closed for good on Halloween. The South Grand diner had been serving the Tower Grove South Neighborhood for almost 40 years.
I’d never dined at The Buttery. I must admit, I didn’t know it existed. But when someone posted its closure in the Lost Tables Facebook group, and the group exploded with comments, I had to find out what The Buttery was all about.
Bryan Lawrence had worked as a cook at The Buttery for 7 years. Laura Mcgrath had worked there as a server for 25 years. Bryan and Laura helped me understand why everyone was so excited about The Buttery.
