October 3, 20213 yr Choolaah looks to finish construction on its new location in Ohio City next to TownHall The popular TownHall restaurant on West 25th Street could be saying hello to a new neighbor around the end of the year. While material delays are still possible, representatives of Choolaah Indian BBQ told the Cleveland Business Journal that the restaurant planned for 1899 W. 25th Street is looking to finish up on construction around the time 2022 rolls in. “Like all industries, we are seeing challenges in supply chain across the board,” said Jay Nesbitt, chief creative officer for Wholesome International, Choolaah’s Pittsburgh-based parent company. “As such, we have been working hard over the past year and a half to adjust accordingly.” More below: https://www.bizjournals.com/cleveland/news/2021/10/01/choolaah-the-indian-restaurant-next-to-townhall.html "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers

The new location planned for 1127 Old River Rd. is still finishing up construction and looking to open by wintertime, coinciding with other projects in the Flats, including the new ESPN Cleveland Headquarters, The Frozen Daiquiri Bar, and BrewDog. The restaurateur couple, Natalie Bata and Keene Cockburn, opened their first Cocky’s location in North Olmsted in 2019. Before that, Cocky’s operated out of a food truck for a couple years.

But we consider ourselves a "foodie" destination. Then again, maybe every city considers themselves that, I don't know. Which Cleveland restaurants should have made the list? I'm not the one to say. Though we have many well-reviewed restaurants and others not reviewed at all, I have not eaten at most of them to come up with a list of the top restaurants that would be a proper list. I'd have to eat at least 50 of the top Cleveland restaurants to give you meaningful rankings.

I think pretty much every city thinks it’s a foodie destination. Probably because eating out of home is such a commonplace thing. Statistically-speaking, there’s little to no reason to expect any Cleveland restaurant to make the cut. Even excluding the chains, there’s almost a million restaurants in the US.
