Try the grape pie. From Scene Magazine:

[B]esides the colorful vibe, there’s also an integrity to the place, thanks to its close association with ArtsCollinwood, a nonprofit that supports local artists and works tirelessly to help stabilize this older, transitional neighborhood. Not only did ArtsCollinwood volunteers help renovate the space, but the café is also physically connected to the ArtsCollinwood Gallery. Factor in the ever-changing collection of local artwork hanging on the café walls and the local musicians who sometimes entertain here, and it’s no wonder the spot gives off a sense of down-home authenticity, like something you’d expect to stumble across in a small college community…

Besides my friends at CityFresh and Coit Rd I can’t think of many people working on this in my neighborhood. Is yours any different?

The urban “food desert,” a neighborhood in which residents typically must travel twice as far to reach the closest supermarket or other mainstream grocer as people in better appointed neighborhoods, is not just a problem of social or economic justice; it’s about public health as well. Faced with a lengthy trek to stock the kitchen with fresh food, many residents of food deserts instead rely on “fringe” retailers — convenience stores, liquor stores, gas stations, and drug stores — to provide basic food items. The result is a serious nutrition gap between those who live in areas of plenty and those who lack access to the basics. And poor nutrition leads to poor health and premature death….

From Sandy:

Clambakes are a Northeast Ohio tradition, most likely brought from New England to the region with the first settlers of the Connecticut Western Reserve. What better way to enjoy the fall season that to combine wine, the Ashtabula County foliage, and a fine outdoor clambake?

Chalet Debonne, a Madison Ohio winery, is hosting just such an event on September 7 and 14, from 6pm to 730pm…

From Cleveland Foodie Michelle V:

After working at several well-respected restaurants, including Michael Symon’s Lolita and Parea, Kitchen 22 and The Biltmore, Chef Jonathon Sawyer, a Cleveland native, has decided to open up his own place, Gastropub, the first nationally certified green restaurant in Ohio. While he is in the process of securing a location and hammering out the details, you can find him at Bar Cento, which will be adjacent to Bier Market in Ohio City this October, where he will be the partner/chef. According to Sawyer, the menu will be rustic featuring moderne & traditional brick oven pizza’s as well as entree selections. Cento will also offer ‘cento vino’ (100 wines) to accompany each dish.
