The Football Fans' Guide to Cleveland Food
"Cleveland fans are known for being outspoken, proudly showing their colors and supporting their teams through thick and thin. That bold spirit defines Mabel’s BBQ, opened by celebrity chef Michael Symon in 2016. The 4th Street eatery embraces its Cleveland roots with neon signs flashing “Eat More Meat” and hearty dishes like the Polish Girl — Symon’s unique version of the traditional kielbasa sandwich. “We use kielbasa from NaKyrsie Meats, add pulled pork, coleslaw, and Cleveland-style BBQ sauce made with Bertman Ball Park mustard,” says manager Emma Janosik. Mabel’s also offers more than 300 bourbon selections, including several from River Roots Barrel Co., which Symon co-founded." - Wendy Pramik
