Wow, now I’m being scooped by my own staff. We are very excited about this new restaurant and want to thank the property owners for their willingness to work with us in finding the right tenant. The menu does sound yummy and these folks definitely know what they’re doing but it’s their commitment to green initiatives that really got us excited. They should be a perfect fit for Decatur.

Thanks for all the buzz. As the owner of the new restaurant, I wanted to leak a few of the new dishes that we created as well as the meaning behind the name of this new Spanish restaurant.

First, Black Iberian Pigs create the most sought after Charcuterie in the world, Iberico Ham. A signature item of the restaurant will be the acorn fed Iberico ham sliced in the center of the dining room at a carving station and served with a toasted baguette and espresso aioli.

A few of other dishes that we plan to serve:
Heirloom Composition – Heirloom tomato gazpacho, heirloom tomatoes, fresh buffalo mozzarella, basil foam, white balsamic reduction, chilean extra virgin olive oil

Pork Cheek Tacos – Slow roasted pork cheeks, fire roasted corn salsa, avocado, butter lettuce, cilantro oil

The Iberian Burger – American Waygu Beef, toasted brioche bun, bacon-onion relish, vine ripe tomato, mahon cheese, butter lettuce, eggplant fries.

We look forward to becoming a part of the community.
