Black Iron Burger Shop Opens Doors Today

Posted by Adam Kuban, August 25, 2008 at 6:00 AM

Black Iron Burger Shop was created with a noble tool in mind: a heavy piece of ancient black iron that burgers would be griddled upon. But then owner Jason Hennings came up with an even more noble tool: an $8,000 Keating Miraclean griddle, a steel-and-chrome, thermostatically regulated monster that will be a lot easier on the small space than a black iron monolith would have been.

It opens today, according to the magazine.

Any word on how good the burger is here?

@adubs: Black Iron Burger Shop Doesn't Live Up to Its Potential. Though Nick, who reviewed it, is hopeful they'll eventually get things straight there. Probably due for a re-review soon.
