Black Iron Burger
Dining · 2+ locations · Manhattan: Midtown West, Theater District
It looks like another Midtown tourist burger stop. In fact it's a chef-owned Spanish partnership: restaurateurs from Seville bought the struggling East Village original in 2013, rebuilt it around all-natural beef, and still run both locations with no outside investors.
The Big Picture
Black Iron Burger has never taken outside money. The Spanish chef-partners who bought the struggling East Village original in 2013 rebuilt the menu and still run both Midtown locations themselves; the 2008 founder sold out and is gone. At two shops there is little public labor or environmental record either way. The business answers to its operating partners, not to investors.
