Award For Nicko McBrain's Rock N Roll Ribs

The Maiden drummer's restaurant wins a local prize

Published 19th Jun 2012

Ultimate Classic Rock reports that McBrain's restaurant, ‘Rock N Roll Ribs,’ just received the ‘Best Ribs 2012′ honour from the Broward-Palm Beach New Times.

McBrain, who co-owns the restaurant with friend Mitch Tanne, said of the honour, "It’s not just Maiden fans that come in. We do get a lot of pilgrimages, people come in and look at all the stuff on the walls, but most people that come in always come out satisfied. And it’s not major expensive. A rack of ribs is $16, and you get a pound and a quarter to a pound and a half of ribs.”

In their posting describing McBrain’s rib joint, the paper stated, "Though the interior of the restaurant looks more like an Iron Maiden shrine in a teenaged boy’s bedroom than a rib joint, this place knows barbecue. The coma-inducing combination of crispy charred pork slathered in the restaurant’s sticky, sweet, and tangy barbecue sauce is a recipe for one totally bitchin’ rack.”
