Iron Starr

Debbie and I tried an new restaurant tonite. The Iron Starr Urban BBQ. Never heard of "urban" barbeque before, but my business partner went there with his daughter so figured we'd give it a try. It's a different place. Eclectic group of people. Lots of younger folks between late teens to thirtysomethings. Older folks trying to be alot younger. Saw a guy who must have been in his late 50's or early 60's... balding head was fairly thin on top but his hair was spiked up kinda like Ty on Extreme Home Improvement. Several people who were dressed up a bit too much for a barbeque restaurant. Could have been white collar work attire, but not sure. Get the feeling this place is one of those "in" places. Deb and I are too far out to be "in". hee hee. Food was decent. Debbie had iced tea, baked beans, dutch oven sweet potatoes, pulled pork and sausage. She didn't care for the sausages. I had a Newcastle ale, sliced brisket, pulled pork, collared greens (love those) and "fried" jalapenos and onions. The jalapenos and onions were not really fried, but barely sauteed. Pretty good. They served cornbread with the meals. With full kernels of corn in it. Tasty. Guess the "urban" is the eclectic part of it all. Definitely not your hole-in-the-wall barbeque place. What kind of barbeque place serves beef tenderloin meatloaf?
