The Daily Balance

The Mister and I are kind of obsessed with going out to eat (who isn’t?). We’re always on the lookout for new spots of deliciousness and we’re constantly re-editing and evaluating out “favorites” list.

You may not think “amazing food” when you think of Cleveland, but you should. After all, we are home to Michael Symon — hello? IRON CHEF! And luckily Michael realizes how AWESOME Cleveland is and chooses it as the home to many of his restaurants — one of them being the new B-spot.

The B-spot is a casual “spot,” specializing in burgers, brats and beer — hence, the B-spot.

Don’t worry vegetarians — they also have veggie burgers and BIG SALADS!

Take note of what they call the veggie burger – HA!

The B-spot is casual cool at it’s finest. I wish I could show you nicer photos of the interior, but my camera wasn’t a fan of the low lighting. Check out the B-spot’s website for more detail.

Following my pre-surgery instructions like a good little patient, I ordered a smaller dinner — and looked longingly at all the burgers ;(

But my frown turned upside-down as soon as I was presented with my BIG SALAD.

I went with the arugula, which was topped with portabella mushrooms and CHUNKS of goat cheese — even I couldn’t finish it!

For all you burger lovers out there, I snapped a photo of the Mister’s meal, as well. His burger was topped with fried egg and bacon! The couple we dined with also really enjoyed their meal – nothing is better than good food and good company!

What are your favorite burger toppings? Do you go for interesting ingredients or keep it pretty “plain jane?”

    I do hot sauce, cheese, lettuce, onion, and mustard. And sometimes I dip it in ketchup. Nothing too original. By the way, I’m kind of obsessed with Michael Symon, and that menu is too hilarious.

    I love the title of the veggie burger. That is hilarious; I must show my semi-vegetarian mom. She would call the beef burgers “Dead Cow Meat Burgers” haha.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog!!

    It’s always fun to go out to eat. I always make sure to get something I know I won’t ever make at home so that the experience is unique!

    so definitely not even close to healthy but my fave toppings are crisp bacon, lettuce, BBQ sauce, provolone cheese and caramelized onions. Hello scrumptious!

    I just went to B-spot while I was home in Cleveland over break. Very impressive! I had the burger with portobellas and I loved it. I totally think Michael Symon is turning Cleveland into a very foodie-friendly town!
