West Side Market

And that was like, I've not seen rush hour like that before.

It took me 32 minutes to get basically from the West Side Market to the bar where you all were at.

Oh my gosh,

really?

No, they weren't open until later in the day, but that is kind of a legendary local bar.

No, we walked around the campus and kind of chatted with everyone before the tour.

And then we decided to walk to the West side market because we hadn't really spent time there.

And that's the neighborhood where Hansa is and where great lakes is.

And at the end of September, they'll give a portion of the proceeds to the renovation campaign.

We'll talk to some of the participating restaurant owners and the West Side Market today as part of this installment of our The Menu series.

This is about Northeast Ohio's food scene produced in partnership with Cleveland Magazine.

Joining me for the discussion today, we have Camille Rose Dixon, Director of Development and Partnership at the Cleveland Public Market Corporation, which manages the West Side Market.

Camille, thanks for being with us.

Thanks for having us, Stephanie.

And so as we've gone about this project, you know, project, we've thought about what are ways to involve certain parts of our community.

And in this case, right, our incredible culinary community here in Cleveland.

We'll talk with chefs from Northeast Ohio restaurants who are featuring dishes on their menus this month.

This is in support of the West Side Market's renovation project.

I'm Stephanie Haney.

Thank you for keeping the conversation going.

Also that hour, a book that looks back at Cleveland's mafia history.

Thursday, we bring you the menu and we'll talk to some local chefs who are utilizing ingredients from the West Side Market for their plates at some area restaurants.

And now, back to you in the studio.

Thank you, Drew.

Oh, three basically? 2.9, three million, something like that.

Yeah, basically three million to the West Side Market.

You know how awesome that is.

That's a mainstay in Cleveland, and that's the important stuff to the community.

Went to the Kensington Market, which is kind of their art slash we're selling weird crap district, which was fun.

We went to St. Lawrence Market, which is their version of the West Side Market.

Uh-huh.

I think your girlfriend loves going to the markets, doesn't she? Everywhere you guys go, like I remember when...
