IRON MAIDEN Drummer's Rib Joint Now Open - Dec. 14, 2009

A barbecue joint with a musical bent, RnR Ribs showcases the pair's love for smokey Southern cooking with food like barbecued pork and chicken and clever takes on MAIDEN songs like "Run to the Hills" wings.

In a recent interview with New Times, McBrain stated about how the idea for the restaurant came together, "In a nutshell, Rick came 'round my house one day and said, 'Nicko, I have these amazing ribs I want you to try.' And he cooked them up for me and I thought, 'Well, I've always loved spare ribs but these are to die for.' So I finally squeezed his bullocks a bit to get his recipe. . . So we started concocting these ribs together. I'd do some ribs, he'd do some, and we'd go back and forth. One day I put a sauce together; I basically added some things to what he already had and he actually complimented me and said, like, [in a thick British accent] 'Blimey, this sauce is lovely!'"
He continued, "We were down at the pub one night and down a few beers and I said, 'This is a fucking great idea, let's open a rock 'n' roll rib joint together.' That was about five or six years ago. We had a couple of false starts looking for the right location and all, but Rick has some experience in setting up restaurants over the last 20 years or so, so he knows what to do. And a friend of ours works for Cheney Brothers, so we had access to the right ingredients. We just had to find the right location and funding. Another friend of ours, Mitch Tanne, and I brought the financing, and Rick brings his expertise and knowledge of cooking and running a small kitchen. Our kitchen is small, and the place seats about 70 people. The cooking will be mayhem I think, but it's going to be quite rock and roll."
