Cleveland’s Iron Chef Michael Symon’s editorial in a national news website is catching on in Cleveland.
The Huffington Post posted Symon’s letter online Wednesday. It’s part of a collection of “love letter” blogs written by celebrities, offering reflection on their home cities and the people that define them.
Here’s a section of Symon’s post:
Cleveland,
You have been my best friend for over 40 years. You were there when I laughed and when I cried, when I won and when I lost. In my fondest memories you are standing by my side, knowing that even when I left you, you would still be there for me.
I remember when I was young and I would spend my entire weekends with you and my grandfather: heading to the Eastside and staying with my grandparents; taking the rapid Downtown; shopping at the Westside Market with all its fabulous aromas of smoked meats and baked breads. It is here I found my true love for food, for going to the historic Terminal Tower to pick up my Grandma at Higbees and heading back east to cook split pea soup with smoked ham hocks and ribs.
