From A Hamburger Today

Openings: Black Iron Burger Shop

The flip side of openings is closings, and a once proud landmark chain appears to be on its last legs. The Little Tavern chain (Buy 'em by the bag!) with its distinctive green roofed architectural style and tiny "slider" style burgers that somehow stood apart from better known competitors is down to one last outlet, in Dundalk MD, just outside of Baltimore. The Baltimore Sun has a story here,
with some nice photos here. I'll spare you the teary memories of my late night dining because I need to head out quickly to Holabird Ave. to grab a bag.

That's cast iron mounted on the facade, and when I stopped by on Saturday, some big iron was parked out front, too:

The future Black Iron Burger Shop

Your guess is good, Adam: "Black iron" refers to the cooking surface, the fellow in the black shirt told me. No burgers till June, he added, because it's a major piece of iron and can't be rushed.
