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 [...]

I just picked up a flyer for the Cleveland Museum of Natural History’s Natural History of Food dining series:
Join us for the fourth year of this popular series. Each evening will provide a tasteful exploration of the natural history and cultural influences of a different food: cranberries, chocolate, spices and peppers. [...]
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 [...]
Chef Bebenroth at work
You have to admire Ben Bebenroth’s work ethic. And also his style. He’s constantly popping up all over the city with interesting dining concepts. I just noted his involvement in the new wine dinner series at the Market Avenue Wine Bar but I’m referring more to events like his Plated Landscape [...]

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 [...]
I have to go back at least once so that I can replace this horrible picture. These are the fried pickles.
The Town Fryer (myspace) has a Cleveland-unique menu. I know everyone thinks that Michael Symon invented the bologna sandwich but I’m looking forward to trying the Fryer’s. And they always seemed to bring in [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
