EP #1 Past the Pandemic: A Conversation with Crystal of Eat*Drink*Cleveland

Listen in as I ease in to my first podcast episode with my friend Crystal Angersola, the person behind the popular blog Eat, Drink, Cleveland. I met Crystal a decade ago when she attended a blogger event I was hosting and we immediately forged a friendship over our shared interests of food and travel.  We talk about how we navigated the past year—particularly how we both tried to support local food businesses amidst all of the restrictions. We're discussing our favorite restaurants and chefs and how they coped with the pandemic, restaurants that shuttered, and those that reinvented in the name of survival. Other topics of note...takeout, pandemic food hacks and shortcuts, places and things we missed, and what we're looking forward to in the coming months. Find more about Crystal and follow her food & travel adventures on Instagram.  Mentioned in this episode: Chef Douglas Katz, Chef Michael Nowak, Sauce the City Food Hall, Black Box Fix, Cloak & Dagger, Keep the Change Kitchen Collective, The Ohio Grape Industries Committee, M Cellars and Laurentia.  Follow CLE Foodcast on Facebook and Instagram where I'll post good stuff you want to know about and alert you to future episodes.
