CLEVELAND, Ohio — Downtown Cleveland is known as a hub to great bars and restaurants, but the suburbs of Northeast Ohio are developing a culinary scene of their own with newly opened spots.
In the latest episode of “DineDrinkCLE: The Podcast,” hosts Josh Duke and Alex Darus talk about Westsiders, a new upscale bar and restaurant in Rocky River. Darus explains the philosophy behind the concept, which is to bring the downtown vibe to the West Side suburbs. Plus, she talks about her first-hand experience of eating brunch at the buzzy new spot.
Then, Marc Bona stops by the podcast with exciting news for diners looking to save money. For the first time in 2024, restaurants will be included in Ohio’s tax-free holiday week. Bona explains the stipulations and how it could impact restaurant bills that week.
Next, Paris Wolfe announces the exciting news that the pop-up patio at the West Side Market is officially open. Shoppers will be able to utilize outdoor seating in between the produce hall and the main market for the first time.
Finally, Peter Chakerian explains the process behind ranking 19 fast-food crispy chicken sandwiches. Chakerian, Duke and Darus debate a bit about their own chicken sandwich opinions and why certain fast food offerings are superior.
