Here is Tony on my TV walking around Cleveland, some re-run obviously, and the show is blipping in and out of cartoon filters so that Tony actually looks like he eats all that food we watch him eat on tv... and I am fuming. I have never actually been furious at a tv personality before, but after our blossoming relationship over the past several re-runs, I feel betrayed, disgusted, like seeing my boyfriend take another girl to the prom or something. I can't even watch the rest of the episode, because I am grabbing the laptop! Tony's first food stop in CLEVELAND is Skyline Chili. Um, am I missing something here? He's in Cleveland. As IF Skyline is a Cleveland thing. He mumbles about Skyline chili being Ohio food or something - NO people. Nononononono. I just want to clarify that Skyline Chili is 100% Cincinnati and if one goes to Cleveland and discusses anything about anything Clevelandy they will discover that there is a rivalry there, and not only have you offended Cincinnatians, but probably Clevelanders as well. You might as well go to New York and make your first stop Uno's pizza and not even mention Chicago. I think what really hurts about it is that Cincinnati is a much more interesting city, with heaps of fascinating Cincinnati-invented food novelties. Please Tony, if you get back to the midwest someday, let me take you out to the REAL Skyline chili and give credit where credit is due.

Don't know anything about Skyline Chili (and couldn't care) but watching that episode reminded me why I moved from Cleveland decades ago. Cleveland was the location of my first real job after college....sent here from SoCal by a national employer. I have to say that the best time I had in Cleveland was a three day roadtrip to Cape Cod over a long Fourth of July weekend (I missed the tornado that hit Cleveland that year on the Fourth). The city itself was the most depressing place I have ever seen in the USA. The Erie shoreline was considered a dead zone (more dead fish on shore than people). People I met and became friends with were very nice, but they all wanted to move away. Surely, Tony and the producers can come up with better locales, and usually do.
