With spring right around the corner – allegedly – it’s almost time to break out those smokers and get your grill cleaning supplies in order!
Cleveland is known for many things food related. A few weeks ago we yanked some of Yelp’s best recommendations for tasty Cleveland corned beef. While that review was certainly a hit, many Clevelanders are starting to develop a taste for something else…
Barbecue!
While I for one would tell you that the best BBQ in Cleveland comes from my own backyard (cough, cough!), unfortunately for you, those plates aren’t for sale… yet! But for those who would rather order in than spend all day (or weekend) perfectly smoking their own delicious Q, where should you turn?
