Melt Bar and Grilled: Cleveland

Amber badly backlit with the MELT logo in the background
On a road trip to Cleveland I thought I would give Guy Fieri recommendation Melt a chance.  While I did not see the exact episode that featured this Cleveland Grilled Cheese house, I managed to pull down just enough data to find the address of the western most outpost of this string of restaurants.

StringGirl, Amber, and the Menu
 The menus in this place are pasted to the back of old LP jackets, immediately I knew this was my kind of place. But the choices were daunting. With a menu stacked high with nothing but grilled cheese of all sorts I was unsure of where to start. While Guy was here he tried the Parmagedon (?) which is a grilled cheese stacked with two homemade pierogi.  But in the end I went for the featured sandwich of the week,Vietnamese Grilled Pork.

 This sandwich came stacked high with Savory grilled pork that was not half bad in the Vietnamese BanMi style. What I always have liked about Vietnamese food was present in this sandwich. Savory and sweet meat that has been well marinated in something sweet, salty, sour, and spicy. Topped with fresh crunchy veggies like cucumber, fresh carrots, cilantro, and basil. Put all those tastes into a Grilled Cheese and here you are! Fantastic. Served with fresh made fries and this sandwich was just what I needed to be able to get home after a long few days in Cleveland.



Here is a lightly broken panorama of the restaurant

So if you are ever in Cleveland and needing some good homecooking and comfort food. Mosey on over to the Melt Bar and Grilled. I can't recommend it any more highly, something there for anyone and everyone.

Moonrise Kingdom, a cozy craft beer bar in Tokyo-Shinjuku

Craft Brewing is not what normally comes to mind when people ask about Japan. They'll ask if you like raw fish (there is more to Japanese cuisine than Sashimi or Sushi), or they'll comment about Sake (there is more than just rice wine in Japan); but if you look, you will definitely find some. Our recent trip to Tokyo, this April just after the Sakura had been swept away by rain :-( we were able to find a perfectly suitable refuge for the Craft Beer Lover.  Moonrise Kingdom(via their Instagram) StringGrrl with one of the NEIPA/Hazy IPA on tap from Japanese Craft Breweries As a treat, the owners shared an American Milk Stout from Left Hand Brewing out of Colorado Local ExPat who gave up their stool to make room for StringGrrl and Kam Carryout beer from Kyoto Brewing Company, Vertere

Brewery Tour by Canoe: Boardman Lake, Traverse City, MI

 Boardman Lake is smack-dab downtown in Traverse City, MI. Easily accessible from the lake are three, maybe even four breweries. Local kayak liveries have scheduled tours to kayak and bike to several local breweries and taprooms. So on this August Sunday, StringGrrl and I decided that we should make the tour ourselves.  Coffee first! It would be irresponsible to embark on day drinking un-caffeinated Boardman Lake Trail Bridge and entry to the River There is a free public launch in Hull Park, just behind the Traverse Area Public Library. Parking adequate for up to 5 cars and up to 5 trucks with trailers, right near the launch and more parking elsewhere in the park made for an easy launch that morning. We paddled our way into the river first to have a coffee while drifting through town. Ideally, one should be able to portage the canoe past the dam and connect directly into Grand Traverse Bay, but construction near the dam made that portage just inconvenient enough that StringGrr...
