Montclair The Show

by Melody Kettle


Things have been very busy at Hot From The Kettle! We've been hard at "work" participating in the filming Montclair The Show, the first travel docu-movie about our fine, diverse town.

The Show is being shot and directed ny the incredibly talented Montclair resident, Mido Emad, and will reveal the very best of Montclair through a diverse mix of art, restaurants, and overall lifestyle.

Over the past few weeks we've shot at CulinAriane, Mesob, Halcyon, Ah'Pizz, Aozora, Corso 98, and more.

Last night, we shot at Samba Montclair. Owner, Ilson Goncalves brought along some Brazilian friends with feathers. Check 'em out!

Jason Perlow, of Off The Broiler, and Eric Levin of NJ Monthly were there to take in the sights and to eat some delicious homestyle Brazilian food at Samba. Stay tuned to Hot From The Kettle more information about The Show!
