    They ran a story the other day on the news, and the three names that people are most likely to associate positively with Cleveland are: 1) LeBron James, 2)The Cleveland Clinic, and 3) Michael Symon.

    So Cleveland thanks you, too.

    Congratulations!

    On the same day that LeBron was named MVP, you won the JBS Best Chef Great Lakes. How sweet is that?

    I love that you give due credit to all the folks who help you do what you do, including some who've moved on from your employ but are not forgotten.

    And of course Liz gets the final mention, as well she should. Congrats to you both. This has been a long time coming...

    Congrats Mike. It was a complete honor to meet you at the Jamison Farm Lamb dinner last night. It was completely FANTASTIC. Your staff did a helluva job(as usual) and it was a GREAT evening.

    Big congrats from a Chicagoan -- there has not been a time that I was in Cleveland that I haven't eaten at one of your restaurants, and your win is very much deserved.

    Congratulation Chef Symon :)

    How awesome for you - AND it came from your peers.

    PS If your assistant ever decides to move on - give me an email - happy to help :)

    Kudos on your newest honor. I've been
    a fan of yours since I went to a cooking
    class you did at our local Heinens years ago.
    We are very excited in Lorain county
    that you are headed out this way soon.
    I am a volunteer with the Avon Heritage
    Duct Tape Festival which is June 19-21st
    and we'd love to have you stop by to
    promote your new restaurant in Avon Lake.
    We have a Mardi Gras theme this year and
    our parade is Saturday June 20th at 10a.m.
    with Duct Tape Floats! We would LOVE to
    have you come celebrate with us. Check us
    out on our website at avonducttapefestival.com
    We get national exposure and have between
    33,000-40,000 visitors.

    Jeff

    Congratulations Michael.

    On a different subject, is your Milwaukee endeavor dead now that the Palomar seems to be dead too? If so that sucks. You could always find another space in Milwaukee. There are some great areas.

    Could your smile be any bigger - You're bursting! Congrats again!

    Hello, i am glad to read the whole content of this blog and am very excited and happy to say that the webmaster has done a very good job here to put all the information content and information at one place, i will must refer this information with reference on my website i.e www.electrocomputerwarehouse.com

    Well done Michael! You are on the map here in Sydney, Australia.

    As an aside, I just watched the Battle of the Artichoke on the Iron Chef which is why I am on your site. I find Jeffrey Steingarten to be at the best and worst of times a wanker. I assume he can only be on that show for comic relief because it certainly is not for his constructive and knowledgeable criticism of the dishes. As a native Clevelander I found his off the cuff remark about the Halibut being dry possibly due to you being Greek or from Cleveland to be another one of his tasteless and unintelligent comments. A good Greek name for Jeffrey would be Oedipus.

    Please feel free to pass my critique on to Jeffrey.

    Congratulations on the award! Well done!

    why did they remove you from DI and return to Mr. Irvine?
