I've never had a banh mi that I didn't like. They get extra points for making the bun. But you have to remember to ask for the hot peppers which I thought was weird.
Asian Town Center was announced two years ago. It’s managed by the family that owns Asia Foods. I’m a [...]
fried cod sandwich with cajun tartar sauce
The Buckeye Beer Engine recently sold burger #48324. You may remember when I made note of their announcement for #40000. I goofed on the calculation in that post. They’re now around their two year anniversary so that’s about 66 burgers every day. There were 113 days between announcements [...]
Butter Mt. Rushmore
I eat at a lot of restaurants that I trust to feed me food that’s healthy if eaten in moderation. When I eat at restaurants that I’m less familiar with, I’m willing to accept the fact that I’m almost certainly eating a certain amount of food that I would ideally avoid. I [...]
scallops at Taste. wonderful creamy leeks
During dinner at Taste, my waiter informed me that they’ll be debuting a new menu in a couple weeks. The new menu will be larger than the current menu. I’ve had some good food there so I’m looking forward to it.
Moxie’s menu seems to be in near constant flux [...]
My Year
Awesome chicken from Sapore
I started eating hamburgers again this year. And pizza. And chicken, pancakes and falafel. I had given up hope of finding decent renditions of those items so long ago that I forgot I even liked some of them. Rediscovering them was just like that Claritin commercial. I can see clearly [...]
Amen! I've been delinquent in my encased meat exploration.
Driving from Strongsville to Lakewood for that burger, I happened to catch a glimpse of an intriguing sign: “Juba Somali Cuisine.” Or something like that. I was lucky to see anything at all passing so quickly in the dark. So, Cleveland has a Somali restaurant? There [...]
billions and billions served (by phogel)
First of all, good for them! They deserve it. In honor of this momentous milestone they’re going to award a prize to the customer who orders the 50,000th burger. I don’t know what the prize is.
They opened on March 13, 2008. They announced that the 40,000th burger was sold [...]
Last weekend, the Cleveland Orchestra performed Mozart’s Mass in C Minor. Here’s the first movement (free, legal and complete):
I sometimes find myself interested in checking out a performance but it’s been years since I actually did it. I’m never familiar with the music – even the stuff that everyone is supposed to know – and [...]
Chad Witham, the “cheese whiz” at Moxie, told me that they’re introducing a new cheese menu today. Chad seemed particularly enthusiastic about a blue cheese that will be debuting with the new menu. I asked whether it was strong and his answer involved some cheese lingo that I don’t recall but the obvious gist of [...]
Doug Katz is planning to open a “lounge” in the space next to fire food and drink. The space was previously Shaker Beverage, right? It will have a menu of small plates which will change frequently. It’s always great to have another restaurant that makes the effort to keep their menu fresh.
There are also signs [...]
