Unique Eats and Eateries of Cleveland & Moon Cleveland
Friday, May 31 @ 7:30pmA cultural melting pot of residents from all over the world, Cleveland is a city full of distinct dishes just waiting to be tasted. Unique Eats and Eateries of Cleveland, by Fran Golden and David G. Molyneaux, is a gastronomic tour like no other that draws on the stories of the people who built and maintain the city’s iconic restaurants:
– Visit the Slyman family, who came from Lebanon and make a corned beef sandwich good enough for a U.S. president.
– Learn local food lore, like the real reason Cleveland gets credit for “Polish Boys,” or why a ballpark brown mustard war has been raging for decades.
– Meet famous local chefs, like Zack Bruell at his restaurant empire and culinary escape, or Michael Symon, with his highly publicized love of meat.
Award-winning journalist and Cleveland native Douglas Trattner uncovers every nook and cranny of his favorite city, sharing his love of this often overlooked mecca, from the 20,000 acres of Cleveland’s Metroparks to the famous Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Trattner provides unique trip strategies including the Three-Day Best of Cleveland, Foodie Fun in Ohio City, and Take the Kids: Baseball, Hot Dogs and Foul Tips. Moon Cleveland is packed with insider’s information on dining, transportation and accommodations. Complete with details on hot-air ballooning over Amish Country, angling for Walleye on Lake Erie, and zipping through town on a Segway, Moon Cleveland gives travelers the tools they need to create a more personal and memorable experience.
Douglas Trattner is a New York Times best-selling cookbook author and longtime Dining Editor for Cleveland Scene. In addition to co-authoring five cookbooks with chef Michael Symon, he regularly pens food and travel features for local, regional and national publications.
