symon plugs happy dog in travel + leisure mag

People, if you haven't noticed, want to know as much as humanly possible about their favorite celebrities. Like what they wear, where they shop, and what kind of car they drive when they are not being chauffeured around town. But more than anything, people want to know what famous people do when they are not busy being famous.

Along those lines, a recent Travel + Leisure article asks well-known chefs around the country about their favorite places to eat. Included in the piece is Michael Symon, owner of Cleveland's Lola and Lolita restaurants.

"I hang at the Happy Dog," he tells the mag's writers, "a retro 1940's bar with great beers, live music, and killer hot dogs with an endless array of toppings. After a hard night there's nothing better than a dog topped with kimchi, hot sauce, bacon, and a fried egg, with a side of Tater Tots and a cold Great Lakes IPA. And does anything say Cleveland better than polka happy hour?"
