Robert Holcepl knows Cleveland. He's lived in the city before its renaissance, and he knows how Clevelanders eat. They want their sausage.
That's the reason for Picnic at the 5th Street Arcades in Downtown Cleveland. They only serve fresh, local meat, and have designed special large buns from Camelot Bakery designed for the extra large Polish Boy ("Polish Man") sausage they call the Big Kowalski and the half pound Warsaw.
Picnic sources their cheese from Lake Erie Creamery, and they serve local Bertman Ball Park Mustard and Great Lakes Brewing Company Dortmunder Beer Mustard. The french fries are hand-cut and they offer picnic sides like baked beans, macaroni salad and potato salad, plus unusual toppings like poutine gravy, peanut butter and chimichurri. Picnic-Cle.com
