Regional Eats: Sean’s Sandwich Shop in Rocky River
Today we had a pleasant surprise when we took an excursion to Rocky River for Tim’s quarterly shearing, at The Irish Barber. The barber, Sean Gormley, hails from the same village as the Ferrises, Ballymoney, in Country Antrim, Northern Ireland, and this is how Tim’s haircut tenuously fits into our philosophy of “local production for local consumption”–by extension back to the old country.
Sophistry aside, we got a pleasant surprise: Sean has opened up a sandwich shop next door to the barber shop, and he also caters out box lunches. The sandwiches were good, the ingredients honest and natural. We’re planning on using him for some of our seminars or assemblies. He’s already started delivering as far away as downtown Cleveland.
The shops are side-by-side on Center Ridge Road, just up from where it intersects with Wooster Road. Sean, the consummate businessman, has priced everything below the major-franchise sandwich providers and prides himself in his lower prices and higher quality.
Taco Night at the Ugly
Tonight is Taco Night at the Ugly Broad Tavern on Denison Avenue. Our Brooklyn Centre Garden Tour Committee is going to hold our meeting there and eat some of the best tacos in the city while we finalize the plans for the Garden Tour to be held on Sunday, June 11th from 1 to five. Details will be up on this site and others after tonight’s meeting.
If you haven’t yet stopped in to Sherry’s bar to have a taco, you still are missing one of the taste treats in all of Cleveland.
