Polish Boy fever strikes again

I am driving down St. Clair. It is long past lunch time. I am hungry. I see a brightly painted restaurant at the corner of St. Clair and Coit Rd. I have a weakness for bright colors. For years I drank Busch beer because I thought the cans were pretty. I see a sign promising 2 Polish Boys for $5. This makes my decision easy.

I am a huge fan of a properly made Polish Boy. The perfect Polish Boy starts off with a sturdy, fresh bun, a smoked Polish sausage, hot crispy French fries, ice cold cole slaw, all covered in tangy barbeque sauce. My research found that the Polish Boy is a sandwich unique to Cleveland.

The name of the restaurant is Food on Da Move and is located at 14034 St. Clair Ave., phone number 216.541.MOVE (6683). The Polish Boys were indeed 2 for $5. I took them home to eat because I know better than to attempt their consumption in the car. At home, with multiple napkins and a pitcher of cherry Kool-Aid I had a fantastic lunch. The sandwiches were excellent especially considering their reasonable price.

I look forward to stopping back and trying the other tempting menu items. We are truly blessed with exceptional alternatives to overpriced fast food right here in our neighborhood. Remember - Food on Da Move is open til 3am, also open for breakfast!
