After having the best burger I’ve ever had in any restaurant anywhere at ”Iron Shoe distillery” in Niles Michigan a few weeks back, my wife decided that she wanted to see what I’d been carrying on about so, nice Sunday afternoon for a drive. Last time she had their “Piggy Mac” which was Mac and cheese topped with EXCELLENT pulled pork and onion straws, drizzled with a cherry barbecue sauce, it was mighty good.
this trip she had the “Sweet and Salty” burger (what I’d had last time) excellent beef with burrata arugula and a fig jam excellent this time too though, that was not my choice this visit.
I opted for their “Nashville hot Chicken and Waffles” which did not disappoint! Perfectly crisp Belgian waffle fluffy, beautiful. Excellent chicken fried to a beautiful golden brown just spicy enough. The syrup made a perfect foil for the heat. The apple slaw saw a good textural counterpoint too. So, if you ever find yourself in, or near, Niles, make the stop! The address is 3 Third street! There is a great little chocolate shop down the street too, “Veni’s” great chocolates!
Eat, Drink and, be Merry!
