CLEVELAND

Cleveland has not exactly lit me up with inspiration. It's very cold & the downtown area that we are occupying is bleak. Empty, crumbling, gray.

But, my oh my, the food scene lights up this city.

I can only officially speak to The Greenhouse Tavern so far (and I can only speak highly of that!), but tonight I'm venturing to B-Spot Burger with the pals.  I'm psyched to compare Chef Jonathan Sawyer's lamb burger with Chef Michael Symon's B-Spot burgers.

Monday night will see us indulging at Lola, Chef Symon's downtown restaurant. The menu is spectacular & I am giddy with food excitement to taste this Iron Chef's goodies.

Can't wait to talk up the deliciousness of Cleveland. It will help me avoid talking about the rest of it...
