Black Iron Burger

Black Angus meets Black & Tan’s at this Lower East Side nook, Black Iron Burger.  Off the beaten path of burgers lies this miniature burger shoppe known for its selection of micro brews and its signature Black Iron Burger.  There is nothing fancy on this menu but burgers, a couple of salads, sandwiches and fried green pickled tomatoes.

After warming up with some Fried Tomatoes its on to the Black Iron.  The B.I.B. is two thin patties topped with Horseradish Vermont Cheddar caramelized onions and a double order of fries (of course).  Tonight this one looked a little better on paper as the flavors were not up to par.  The burger beef was, for lack of better words, bland.  The Horseradish cheddar was mild and I’ve seen better looking caramelized onions in my mother’s kitchen (she hates to cook).

However, if you’re in the area do not be quick to overlook this spot for it does show potential and everyone can have an off night.  Then again Tiger Woods can win a U.S Open on one leg, Michael Jordan can win NBA titles with the flu and Marissa Miller can still look good wearing a garbage bag. But  not to worry Back Iron, the BurgerBoy has not given up on you quite yet.
