Saturday morning the fam and I headed out to tour the Shaker Square Farmers Market. The weather wasn’t exactly beautiful and we were fairly cold by the time we finished our tour. I have been longing to eat at Fire Food and Drink for a while and on this day it didn’t take much twisting of the kids arms to go inside and sit down for lunch. I am sorry I didn’t get any pictures but I was so cold I forgot all about it until we were walking back to the car.
Fire Food and Drink is a very nice space! It is inviting and modern at the same time. I felt as if I could be eating family style cooking for lunch and then return for a modern hipsters delight for dinner. The designers of this space should be proud of what they have accomplished. It is a fabulous space.
The wife had a flatbread with salami and mozzarella. It was very fresh tasting and was really VERY good. I would order this again and again. I had a flatbread with mushrooms, onions and gruyere. This was a delicious offering but honestly if given the choice I would have swapped with the wife. The boys each had a local grass fed burger with fries. The burgers were cooked perfectly and were incredibly flavorful. The only issue the kids had (and it is a great problem) is that the burgers were SO big that they couldn’t get them in their mouths. We cut them into pieces and the boys destroyed them. The fries were unbelievable good. Luckily for the wife and I the kids got full on burger and we were able to enjoy some of the VERY plentiful portion of fries that was offered with the burgers. As a family we shared a plate of chocolate chip cookies with hot fudge for dipping!!! Save room for this when you visit Fire Food and Drink!!!
The moral of this story is that you will not be disappointed if in the near future you make a trip to Fire Food and Drink. It is a fabulous menu prepared and served by a fabulous staff in a fabulous setting!!!
Oh, and by the way, Chef Doug Katz is one of Cleveland’s number one supporters of local, fresh, farm to table dining. You can feel good about what you eat at Fire Food and Drink because Fire Food and Drink is going out of their way to make sure things are done sustainably and humanely!!!
P.S. Make sure you get a taste of Dr. Katz’s pickles…you will not be disappointed!!!
