We Found them at Kamm's Red Lantern!
The Hooley is always a momentous occasion, and this year's event was no exception. In addition to basking in the hot sun last Saturday, the Hooley also offered fun activities like live music, dancing, shopping, kids activities, and of course, food!
CoolCleveland caught up with Cory Rowland, of Red Lantern Kitchen & Bar, on the festival's restaurant strip. Rowland gave us a sample of his delicious bacon decorated cupcake, along with his endorsements for the event. If you're looking for innovative offerings, you have to check out Red Lantern for your next night out. We love their taco nights!
