What is your most popular menu item? Probably the brisket or turkey Side: potato salad What are your specials? Tuesday: Tacos Wednesday: Wing Day (we have wings every day but have a special offer on Wednesdays). Thursday: Burger day — brisket burger Friday: Sometimes we do beef ribs. Do the menu items change seasonally? A little. We are doing some roasted yam right now, but for the most part we try to keep things pretty consistent because we just want to do what we do really well. The menu isn’t that big because we want each thing to be perfect. We also like to utilize local ingredients when we can, like huckleberries for barbeque sauce. What makes TT’s unique? It’s as much about our team as it is about our customers. We want to provide a great environment for high school students working their first job here. What is your favorite part of what you do? The people. We feel so lucky to get to work with our friends every day. We are barbeque nerds and Chad has given us control of the menu so we can offer specials when we want. Chad really appreciates what we do and he tells us, which is so rewarding. Where do you like to eat around Spokane? Scott: High Tide Lobster and Backyard Public House. Colin: Taste of Thai, Veraci, and 1898 Public House. I think Zona Blanca is the best restaurant in Spokane because the first time I ate there, I ate a flavor I had never had before. If you were on an island and could only bring three things, what would you bring? Scott: My family, a case of Tri-Tip, and a knife. Colin: Wife, daughter, and a good book. Colin and Scott both have side-hustle Instagram accounts. Colin sells our favorite rubs on his account @Barberbbq. You can order them directly from his site or find them locally at Falco’s BBQ and My Fresh Basket. Scott explores his two favorite hobbies: photography and food on his account @valyriansquealb- bq. Shout out to his wife, Amanda, a loyal follower. :) For more information on TT’s Old Iron Brewery, visit their site http://www.ttsoldironbrewery.com/. May | June 2020 51
