Peaches HotHouse at 415 Tompkins Ave will debut its revamped brunch menu this Saturday, July 13, coinciding with the much-buzzed comeback of Chef Pierre. The Bed-Stuy favorite aims to pack its dining room with hot chicken, peach cobbler pancakes, and a fresh twist on Southern classics.

Peaches HotHouse is betting big on brunch this weekend as Chef Pierre Hines returns to the kitchen after two years. Co-owner Craig Samuel confirmed to NYC Pulse that Pierre will helm the line starting Saturday, overseeing a menu that reinvents brunch in Central Brooklyn. “Pierre is our secret sauce—literally and figuratively,” Samuel said at the restaurant Thursday.

The new menu features sweet-and-savory launches like peach cobbler pancakes with bourbon maple syrup ($18) and a hot chicken biscuit stack that insiders say nods to Pierre’s Nashville roots. Bed-Stuy regulars will recognize classics like shrimp and grits and fried catfish, but look for new vegan-friendly options and homemade jams debuting this month.

Peaches HotHouse has built a cult following since its 2008 opening, but Pierre’s return marks a new era for the neighborhood staple. “We’ve been waiting for this comeback—the line’s going to be out the door,” said Jacinta Hall, who lives on nearby Monroe St. Tables will be first-come, first-served, with brunch hours running 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekends; the team expects a packed house through July and recommends showing up early.
