A whole bunch on the docket this week so let’s get to it.
- First off, if you haven’t made time to watch Doug Trattner’s interview with Stefan Was, start there. In the first episode of our new “Back of the House” series, the two chat about Porco’s formation, the cocktail industry, Was’s sobriety journey and navigating that while working in the hospitality industry, how Ben’s Friends has helped, and more.
- Shaun and JoLyn Yasaki are not only expanding with the new biergarten on Lorain, they’ve recently taken over the former Bookhouse Brewing space where they’ll open Anthology Cask House, where European beers, poured the old-fashioned way, will star. A partnership with Little Cloud next door will make sure everyone is fed, too.
- Hola Tacos in Lakewood has a new owner, and is back open.
- Scene dining editor Doug Trattner reviewed Rosy, which he deemed a culinary thrill ride where change is half the fun.
- Dahlia Coffee is expanding to Old Brooklyn.
- Matt Fish is back in the restaurant game with the impending opening of Proof Public House in Ohio City.
- Downtown Cleveland’s daily food truck series is back for all your lunch needs Monday through Friday. Here’s where to catch the grub every day.
- Unless you’ve been down in Broadview Heights recently, you probably don’t know about Jossi’s Bakery. They’re about to get a whole new set of fans as the owners recently announced a new shop is coming to Tremont.
- High Key on Lee is set to take over the former Voodoo Brewing spot in Cleveland Heights.
