**** Iron Pig has closed
The recent warm weather had the Missus craving takeout from Iron Pig. So I dropped by, placed an order, and then went to do a quick visit to Trader Joe's. My takeout was ready when I returned to Iron Pig. I had found parking nearby and everything just seemed hunky dory.
On my last post, I noted that the wings were dry and tough. Unfortunately, these were basically the same.
Large, meaty wings, but super dry and tough, and the large size meant that it was somewhat lacking in enough smokiness.
I also got the Rib Tips and specifically asked for sauce on the side. Sadly, this must have been lost in the translation.
Over-sauced and very salty……
Our favorite menu item over the years is the Man Salad…make that the Gender Neutral Salad. Which looked mighty appetizing.
Until we started eating….and started noticing something…hidden underneath all those fries and brisket.
All those brown and discolored greens. Sigh…….
I take no pleasure in typing this out and it's kind of sad to get a meal like this from a place that's been a favorite over the years. We understand that times are tough and are trying to support local businesses, but it seems like the appreciation is not being returned? Not quite sure what to make of this meal…..
