Award-winning chef Justin Severino announced that his Lawrenceville restaurant Cure will close in March to make room for an online charcuterie company.

“From the very beginning, the menu at Cure was built with the charcuterie program at its foundation,” the chef said in a news release. “Nearly every table started with a sampler board of eight or more cured meats. I couldn’t be prouder of the work we’ve done over the past seven years, and I can’t wait to evolve the restaurant into the new home of our online charcuterie company.”

Salty Pork Bits is the name of the charcuterie company.

“We have been blown away by the reception to Salty Pork Bits, and every month the demand for orders grows geographically,” Severino said.

Since Cure’s opening, the dining spot has been named one of the Top 50 Best New Restaurants by Bon Appétit magazine and received other national accolades.

Reservations for Cure’s final month are available online.

Severino will continue to run his other popular Lawrenceville restaurant, Morcilla.
