The Football Fans' Guide to Cleveland Food

At Slyman’s Restaurant, corned beef sandwiches are treated like a work of art — the deli, founded by Joseph Slyman in 1964, piles massive layers of tender, well-seasoned corned beef on fresh rye from Orlando Baking Company, often served simply or as a Reuben with kraut, cheese, and dressing, alongside a crisp pickle and potato salad. Fans routinely flock and stand in long lines on game days, and Sam Slyman (the founder’s grandson) credits their cooking, trimming, and seasoning methods for keeping the corned beef tender and flavorful. - Wendy Pramik
