Best Clambakes in Cleveland: Top Restaurants and Events
One of fall’s special treats in Northeast Ohio is the proliferation of clambakes at restaurants, special events, and friends’ homes. An Ohio clambake differs slightly from a typical New England clambake. In Ohio, everything is steamed together in one large pot. Moreover, the clams are not local; they are shipped in from the east coast. The traditional Ohio mixture typically includes clams, perhaps a half-chicken, ears of corn, and white or sweet potatoes. Serve this hearty dish with fresh rolls slathered with butter and a side of creamy coleslaw for a quintessential local experience. If you’re in northern Ohio, discover some places to enjoy a warm clambake in the chilly fall weather.
