Is there anyone more qualified to write the definitive book on the West Side Market than veteran food writers Laura Taxel and Marilou Suszko? Lensman Barney Taxel does a nice job capturing the West Side Market in all it’s gritty, authentic glory.
And what a book it is. “West Side Market: 100 Years and Still Cooking,” was published to coincide with the Market’s 100th anniversary. It’s been quite a history.
The book examines the people, the food, the building, the history. But it’s the anecdotes from the more than 300 interviews the authors conducted that truly tell the story.
This video with author Laura Taxel, shot just days after re-opening from the only major fire in 100 years at the West Side Market celebrates what a treasure the West Side Market is for millions of Clevelanders, and for foodies all around the world.
