Go Cleveland!!!

What a big victory for Cleveland. Fine, our sports teams have fallen short, with the Browns losing in a heartbreaking yet hard-fought battle against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Buckeyes lost to Illinois (okay, technically not Cleveland, but still, they're our team).

So as I watched the final episode of "The Next Iron Chef" I braced myself for the inevitable disappointment. Michael Symon, from Cleveland, versus John Besh, of New Orleans. I mean, c'mon. Cajun and creole food, America's most endeared city since Katrina hit, the odds were really against Michael.

And John Besh threw in a dessert at the last second. Out of swordfish! How daring!

But in the end, we won!! Michael Symon won. Cleveland has a renowned chef. And everyone knows it.

Woohoo!
