An Early Taste of Cleveland Eats on WKYC

Chef Brandt Evans visits station to showcase dish he’ll serve at Tri-C’s culinary festival

Chef Brandt Evans offers a sneak peek this week as to what he’ll be serving at Cleveland Eats.

Spoiler alert: It’s pretty tasty.

Evans stopped by the studios at WKYC/Channel 3 to showcase his dish — Korean fried chicken served with gingery greens in a waffle cone. It will be served at the culinary festival by Blue Canyon and Pura Vida restaurants, both owned by Evans.

The Live on Lakeside visit featuring Evans and Scott Coffman, a chef at the restaurants, can be viewed on the WKYC website. They appeared with hosts Hollie Strano and Alexa Lee.

Cleveland Eats is a culinary festival organized by the Hospitality Management Center of Excellence at Cuyahoga Community College (Tri-C^®). The event will take place Saturday, Sept. 15, at the Mall B outdoor event space above the Huntington Convention Center of Cleveland.
