  • This early 1990s PBS Documentary celebrates the history of Cleveland Area restaurants, grocery stores and the traditions of food...and then we ate! Enjoy this trip back in time, hear and see witnesses to Cleveland area History, they it was and in many ways still is. Food, family and fun always seemed to go together.

    I remember Lawsons! Also, we went to Manners Big Boy all the time in the 70's on Rt 303 in Brunswick. Moved to Texas and never been to one since. But on a trip to visit Ohio, I bought a Big Boy bank for memorabilia.😁

    I grew up with all these things...even kenny kings original original recipe. All swept away,in the misty sands of time. charles chips with Lawson's chip dip. And all the seperate shops for meat,baked goods.etc. And the milk man. The retauraunts. The people that made it what it was. First shaved ice in the milk truck,then frozen chunks of co2. All the different stores for meats,baked goods,everything from mom & pop stores. I grew up with mom taking me with her while pop was at work. She even took me to Halley's to see Mr jingaling in the late 50's. They live now,only in my memories.

    I grew up on a cattle and sheep ranch in the 70’s. We worked incredibly hard. I remember nights when I could sleep, and the times I did sleep I would have recurring night mares. Had a swollen and body near exhaustion sometimes weeks on end. But the hardest job was my Moms. It was her job to keep the laundry clean, repaired and ready for use for as long as it could be repaired. In addition she would cook all day, from 6 am to 9 pm someone would need to be fed and we burned a lot of calories. Steak, eggs gravy for breakfast. Lunch was often a casserole or stew. Dinner would be anything from burgers to full Turkey, chicken or Italian dinner. In addition there was always cookies, cakes and pies freshly out of the oven.
    My dad would leave either me or my sister at home to help on days when mom had to feed larger crews of ranchers during shipping, shearing or marking and branding seasons. No one wanted to stay home and work with Mom. No it wasn’t as physically tiring but by the end of the day, you were work out. Cooking, cleaning and house work just has a way of wearing one down.

    I remember back in the 50’s Mrs. Zingale would bring over spaghetti sauce when she made it for herself. She finally gave mom the recipe when we were going to move to Indiana. I still eat her sauce every week. I have never been served better anywhere. Thank you Mrs. Z.

    Uprated, subbed. I remember the farmer's market in East Cleveland, where I grew up. I was born in Cleveland in '57. Good food and music! It was just impossible to stay, no future there -- left in '75, moved to NYC, now am in Paris, France where quality of life and good food are so important, still, there are still local farms and vendors, people still make time for food and want quality, organic, no GMOs. My best to you.

    We had an "egg lady" who would pull up in a station wagon and deliver fresh eggs! Also, there was the Producer's milk man, who used to be able to leave the dairy order in the milk chute so prevalent in the 50's, but by the time we'd grown as a family, the milk chute became a storage space for gardening tools, and the milk etc. was left outside the side door!

    I try to frequent local places over chains. I remember when Heinen's at Cedar and Green used to look like that, and Lawson's. Walking to the store with my grandfather. That corner store closed for decades and sat there. When I cook, it's not "healthy," but it will taste great ;-) Real ingredients.

    I can remember the rooster waking us each morning when we lived in the country. After we moved to town, the milkman became our rooster. The clinking of the bottles was something we heard every morning. My mother and our neighbors would place the empty bottles outside the door the night before, and the next morning they’d be replaced. My father would come to the breakfast table after picking up the newspaper off the front porch. Those were the days.

    I’m surprised they forgot dimitries on w110th and Lorain, you could go there after the bars closed and have a great time, have a really bad breakfast , absorb all the cultural diversity the west side had to offer, and it’s a guarantee that at least 2 or 3 fights would break out,, but it was the most popular place for many years.
