Nicko McBrain will be opening a restaurant with a few people in Coral Springs, Florida.  Opening end of November with a grand opening before Christmas (When it sound like Nicko will probably be there.)  I'm not super fond of ribs, but it sounds pretty cool. 

Here's a link to the newspaper article with the address and phone number  (!) and an interview with Nicko:

Boy are they going to get a lot of calls wondering where Nicko is and if he can come to the phone. :P
 
For nearly 30 years, drummer Nicko McBrain has toured the world as part of one of the greatest rock bands of all time, Iron Maiden. He's played arenas and festivals, in front of tens of thousands of people in places Bangalore, India and Gothenburg, Sweden, and hundreds of thousands in Brazil. And throughout that time traveling from city to city, McBrain didn't just perform great; he also ate exceptionally well.

:)  Nice to read (even though I am not such a food snob myself).
 
He's very motivated.

But my secret is potatoes. I make the best roast potatoes you've ever had. I'll be wearing a white hat for sure, and I've already got me chefs pants on. I'm wearing them right now actually.

Nicko's Rocking ribs for 20 bucks?

Anyway, I like food and I like nicko, don't see anything wrong with mixing them.
 
IRON MAIDEN drummer Nicko McBrain — who lives in South Florida — has partnered up with close friend, guitarist, and restaurateur Rick "Moby" Baum to open Rock 'N' Roll Ribs. A barbecue joint with a musical bent, RnR Ribs showcases the pair's love for smokey Southern cooking with food like barbecued pork and chicken and clever takes on MAIDEN songs like "Run to the Hills" wings.

In a recent interview with New Times: http://blogs.browardpalmbeach.com/clean ... cbrain.php , McBrain stated about how the idea for the restaurant came together, "In a nutshell, Rick came 'round my house one day and said, 'Nicko, I have these amazing ribs I want you to try.' And he cooked them up for me and I thought, 'Well, I've always loved spare ribs but these are to die for.' So I finally squeezed his bullocks a bit to get his recipe. . . So we started concocting these ribs together. I'd do some ribs, he'd do some, and we'd go back and forth. One day I put a sauce together; I basically added some things to what he already had and he actually complimented me and said, like, [in a thick British accent] 'Blimey, this sauce is lovely!'"

He continued, "We were down at the pub one night and down a few beers and I said, 'This is a fucking great idea, let's open a rock 'n' roll rib joint together.' That was about five or six years ago. We had a couple of false starts looking for the right location and all, but Rick has some experience in setting up restaurants over the last 20 years or so, so he knows what to do. And a friend of ours works for Cheney Brothers, so we had access to the right ingredients. We just had to find the right location and funding. Another friend of ours, Mitch Tanne, and I brought the financing, and Rick brings his expertise and knowledge of cooking and running a small kitchen. Our kitchen is small, and the place seats about 70 people. The cooking will be mayhem I think, but it's going to be quite rock and roll."

Will you guys hold a grand opening?
Nicko: We'll have a soft opening towards the end of November, but I'm going to London for a few months and when i get back before Christmas we're going to have a Grand Old Man opening. And when we do the Grand Old Man opening there will definitely be live music and probably a tent out front in the lot.

Sounds like the boys will be done or almost done the writing process this week. Looks like a pretty good place to eat, to bad I'm not going to Florida any time soon.
