Rusty Irons: What’s in Your Fridge Friday?

Rusty-Head Shot- Beach.jpg
Rusty Irons, the feisty, boot-clad gal behind The Irons boutique rental property in South Austin, does more than stock a fine (and all-local) pantry for her guests. In just a few weeks, she’ll be showing off her cooking skills on the Food Network’s “Grill it! with Bobby Flay.”


Her quirky video showing how to make a slow-roasted pork butt on the grill caught producers’ attention. They picked her as one of 13 guest chefs for this season, and she flew to New York to shoot the episode earlier this summer.

Check out her episode on August 3 on the Food Network, and see what Mr. Flay had to say about this sassy (and sharp) Austin foodie.

What’s your favorite local item right now? Jeremiah Cunningham eggs. Eggs are the source of life and a complete source of protein. It can be made as savory or sweet. Marooned on an island? Give me egg. It goes great with kelp.

What’s with the artichoke? It’s beautiful! I use fresh fruits and veggies as flower arrangements in my hotel “The Irons Austin”! Guests see their whimsy. They last forever and then you eat them. It’s like an eco thing. I love to steam artichokes, dip them in my famous mustard mayonnaise and watch the Food Network or Anthony Bourdain.

You’re throwing one of your famous dinners. What dish do you feature? Osso buco with veal shank and pappardelle (flat wide ribbon) pasta. Extra sauce. It’s an art.

This comment is related to Rusty’s great showing on the Bobby Flay program. We just watched her and she was great! Although I liked her comments on her own cooking video, such as “Take me to NEW YORK” she could not be sassy with Bobby, I guess, and had to be a little more subdued!! Her food looked delicious and very inticing. We thought she did a good job in explaining things given the short amount of time they have with only 30 minutes. We would love to have her recipes - are they on any web site?
