I wanted to provide the board with the dishes indulged in on our trip to Cleveland (where we stayed) during HOF weekend.

1. Mabel’s BBQ on 4th - chef Michael Symon’s place. Great spot with great food (Midwest take on bbq). Wife had the smoked turkey and I had the pork spare ribs. We split a side of smoked brisket pierogies that were topped with caramelized onions, chives, and sour cream.

2. Agave & Rye - we split chips and queso as a side and each had a taco flight (3 each). I went with “The Becky” (chicken, Mac n cheese, bbq jam, bacon, and fried onion strings), “The Gangsta” (birria beef, Mexican rice, roasted corn, queso & white cheddar, chipotle Serano crema, cilantro, and tajin lime), and “The Smoke Show” (bbq pulled pork, sweet corn fritters, bacon, queso, and fried onion strings).

3. Martha on the Fly - wife went with “The Betty” and I had “The Agnes” (signature egg patty, cheese, sunshine sauce, shaved & griddled steak, and added caramelized onions and bacon).

4. Battr - new dessert shop that recently opened. Wife went with the Oreo milkshake and I had 3 scoops of gelato (Nutella, vanilla bean, and cookies n cream).

I regret not taking pics of any of the dishes, but if anyone would like to see, I can pull from their social media pages.

Everything we ate was absolutely delicious! Never felt like we were still hungry. We ate good, but did tons of walking which helped feel not as stuffed

Also, Cleveland doesn’t get enough credit for their culinary scene, imo.

Cleveland doesn't get enough credit as a city ... great music scene, museums, a sports town, cooler summers and some decent food (better than Pittsburgh for food IMO). And it's easy to get around.

Funny when someone from some shite town in the south dismisses Detroit, Cleveland etc without ever stepping foot in them.

This seems to be the prevailing feedback from most out-of-towners after they visit Cleveland.

It’s usually a pleasant surprise. People make fun of that place and it’s become a punchline, even people from there.

But the food scene is actually pretty good and there’s some cool stuff there.
