Food - Specialty Markets
How did Cleveland become known as a foodie town? We’ve always had great diversity of ethnic cuisine and specialty markets catering to adventurous cooks, but when Michael Symon became the winner on the Food Network's Next Iron Chef on season 1, that launched us into the national eye and we’ve never looked back.
