mjp28 Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 Since this is about the best fans in the NFL and in Ohio that means football and food, naturally I remember Arthur Treacher the sidekick to Merv Griffin AND the face on the fish and chips sign. I also remember when when they put a franchise in around 1970ish in front of the Eastwood Mall in Niles, OH, I thought it was great. That was during the big franchise boom back then including co-branding which continues today. Arthur Treachers then took some unusual twists, originally founded in Columbus, OH is wove it's was through NE Ohio and out..... ........After losing the case to the franchisees and having no way to compensate them, Mrs. Paul's sold Arthur Treacher's to Lumara Foods of America Inc. in March 1982. Lumara Foods filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code four months later. The company was subsequently bought by a group of investors and the corporate offices were relocated to Youngstown, Ohio. It went into bankruptcy in 1983. Two years later, it was merged into a shell company by Jim Cataland. From 1985 to 1993, Cataland slowly expanded the company again. In 1993, money from a new group of investors was used to introduce a more modern seafood concept; to buy additional stores; and to move the company from its base operations in Youngstown, Ohio, to Jacksonville, Florida. In the mid-1980s, franchises in Detroit, Michigan were converted by their owner to a new chain called Seafood Bay. Arthur Treacher's purchased six Seafood Bay locations back in 1997, but was unsuccessful in reverting them. The company experimented with co-branding, forming an alliance with Arby's (which got its start in the Youngstown suburb of Boardman) for co-branded locations. One such location existed in Breezewood, Pennsylvania. However, by the late 1990s, Arby's parent Triarc removed the Arthur Treacher's portions of its co-branded Arby's. Today, Arthur Treacher's primary co-branding partner is Nathan's Famous........ That's when I moved from Niles to Boardman in 1985. So there you go....... Damn I'm getting hungry, time for some GAMEDAY food! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canton Mike Posted October 29, 2018 Report Share Posted October 29, 2018 I always suggest local food or mini local chains to out of town/country visitors for food. I will not go to national chain restaurants when away from home, preferring local places such as Tim's Tavern and/or Eadie's in Canton for fish, Swenson's (drive-in or carryout) for a great burger (or 2 or 3), Hartville Kitchen for homestyle Amish food, Papa Bear's/Pizza Oven in Canton, The Rail (high end burgers, 24 OHIO craft beers on tap). Of course, Great Lakes and/or Thirsty Dog. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the best Italian Ribolitta soup I have ever tasted in my life in a little out of the way cafe in Florence. We were the only tourists in that little sidewalk cafe down a sidestreet on the other side of the river from the main square. Similar experiences in other countries as well. If we ever get to eastern Spain I will make sure Nero takes us to such a place. I'm sure he's got a couple or more there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a Red Barn in my town right across from the football field, and naturally it was packed after the games. We used to eat there all the time, obviously, it being so convenient. (not McD's anywhere close then...though now there is). Also....for a 6 week period in 1971 I worked for The Red Barn on Sunrise Blvd. in Fort Lauderdale, and FYI, their National (International?) headquarters was in Ft. L. The CEO of the company would come into our place all the time. But, yes, they went belly up. The Red Barn restaurant was a fast-food restaurant chain founded in 1961 in Springfield, Ohio, by Don Six, Martin Levine, and Jim Kirst. In 1963, the small chain was purchased by Richard O. Kearns, operated as Red Barn System, with the offices moving briefly to Dayton, Ohio and in August 1964 to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. During the late 1960s United Servomation, also called Servomation, bought the Red Barn chain.[1] In 1978 United Servomation merged with the City Investing Company's GDV division which also owned the Motel 6motel chain.[1][2] Only interested in real estate, construction, and financial services the new owners ceased advertising for the chain along with allowing the franchise leases to expire with the last of the leases expiring around 1988.[1][3] At its peak, Red Barn had 300-400 restaurants in 19 states, as well as outlets in southern Ontario, elsewhere in Canada, andAustralia.[4] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are a few suggestions about local Cleveland eateries, etc. that you could try to patronize when you are here: A. Go to the Westside Market. Numerous food booths with all kinds of variety and mostly all good stuff. B. Hot Sauce Williams (I believe it may be on Carnegie)....if you want some true American Soul food or Barbecue C. The Academy Tavern, on the East Side, East Woodland I believe, fairly near Shaker Square D. Johnny's Bar on Fulton (there is also a Johnny's downtown...Warehouse district) E. The Harbor Inn The most Iconic Cleveland "pub". In The Flats, west side. You get everyone from dock workers to lawyers in there and everything in between. F. Heck's Cafe, Ohio City. H. If by any chance you are staying down near Medina, The Timber Lodge is the best restaurant near there. And if you are going to be in the Akron area, check in with me there. G.

The Flat Iron Cafe, in the Flats. Frequented by Browns Board tailgators at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
