"Bite Into Books"
The National Endowment for the Art's "Big Read" is an opportunity for an entire literary community to read a selected title and pair that reading with programming and events tied to the themes of the book.
This year, dozens of branches across the Cuyahoga County Public Library as well as the Cleveland Public Library systems read "Bite By Bite: Nourishments and Jambourees" by Aimee Nezhukumatathil, which examines how food and culture are intertwined.
Libraries across the region also planned food events, gardening classes and art exhibits to coincide with the community reading program.
Thursday on the "Sound of Ideas," we speak to Nezhukumatathil about the book, as well as event organizers from Cleveland Public Library and Heights Libraries.
You can find out more information about the "Bite Into Books" events .
Guests:
- Aimee Nezhukumatathil, Author, "Bite By Bite: Nourishments and Jambourees"
- Erica Marks, Senior Director of Outreach & Programing Services, Cleveland Public Library
- Gale Koritansky, Executive Director, Heights Libraries
"The Menu" - Best Restaurants
From smashburgers to soup dumplings, from Turkish fried eggs to punk rock chicken, one could argue that Northeast Ohio punches above its weight in terms of culinary delights.
That argument is strengthened by Cleveland Magzine's list of "50 Best Restaurants in Cleveland and Northeast Ohio" which was released this week. And this year's list was expanded from 25 to 50. Along with that list, the magazine also released its "Silver Spoon Awards," which are the favorite restaurants as voted by readers.
We鈥檒l close Thursday's show digging into Cleveland' Magazine's guide.
You can find the entire list .

- Dillon Stewart, Editor, Cleveland Magazine
