An Irondale staple is marking a monumental moment in its history; one of not only local or national significance, but of worldwide significance.

Employees at the 134-year-old restaurant managed to destroy the previous record by selling 6,215 sandwiches in just eight hours.

That breaks the prior record of 4,775 set at a BBQ festival in North Carolina.

Governor Kay Ivey even declared Saturday, Aug. 9, as " Golden Rule BBQ " day in anticipation of what was to come.
