I love a good change of pace so I”m happy to share that this week I was featured on The Cleveland Sound with a review of the Rock Hall’s Chef Jam 2011. The write up is a bit different than what I normally do with less of a focus on me and more covering/reporting on…
With my parents living in Virginia, I didn’t get to celebrate Father’s Day with my dad. However, in honor of my dad’s love for fixing things (and my love of all things kitsch), Scott and I figured we would do something that was ‘dad-approved’ and headed over to The Avon…
I headed out to my old Eastside stomping grounds this week to try a new food concept from Scott Groth – The Chubby Cook in Beachwood. What started as a popular food blog featuring Scott’s photographs, reviews and recipes has transformed into a brick and mortar establishment for grab-and-go lunches,…

At the beginning of May, I set off on CLEGal’s WhyCLE? Challenge to identify one positive thing I love about Cleveland every day. Everyone who participated could share their reasons any way they wanted so I decided to tweet my daily reason and then write a recap each week on…
I’ve been running full-steam the last couple of months and have desperately needed a break so I was happy that this Memorial Day Weekend kicked off a week-long vacation filled with family, parties and just general relaxation. And what better way to get it started than with a trip to New…
It’s the season of Ingenuity in Cleveland, as the team behind IngenuityFest bridges science and art together once again. I had a fantastic time at their Cocktail Party Redux in March, so I was really excited when I heard about this next event: On Saturday, June 11th at 8pm, IngenuityFest Cleveland is…
