Jim Dandy's BBQ Restaurant Reopens 10 Months After Fire Popular Rutherford BBQ joint Jim Dandy's has reopened nearly 10 months after a fire. The two-alarm fire broke out at the Park Avenue restaurant overnight in mid-May of last year. The community pitched in to help get the long-favorited rib joint back up and running. Jim Dandy's has been busy since reopening -- often inundated with orders, said owner Brian Flynn, who thanked each local entity that helped in the last 10 months, individually in a Facebook post. Jim Dandy's, 100 Park Ave., Rutherford.
