Opal On Pearl - I Can Do Another 12 Ep 023

Episode 023 — Opal On Pearl, Cleveland, Ohio Season 1 ends where it should — at a neighborhood bar in Cleveland that nobody needed to tell us about. We found it ourselves, on the way to the Zoo. Opal On Pearl sits down the road from the Cleveland Zoo, which is how it ended up on the radar during a holiday lights visit. What looked like a convenient stop on the way turned into the kind of place you file away for a Friday when the week has been too long and you need somewhere that gets the balance right. Parking in the back. Chill inside. Decor that actually reflects someone's taste rather than a design template. A wine and beer list that takes itself seriously without being pretentious about it. The wings arrived plated in a way that a neighborhood bar doesn't have to bother with, and they bothered. That kind of care tends to show up on the plate too, and it did here. Boutique menu, real food, wings worth the stop. There was a Christmas tree up that could stop traffic, which is its own kind of commitment to the season. This is where you unwind after a long week. The quest found it on the way to see some lights, which is exactly how the best places on this list tend to get found. Twenty-three episodes. One season. Ohio, South Carolina, West Virginia, Kentucky, Florida, Switzerland, and a Cedar Point parking lot. The quest is just getting started. See you in Season 2, Wing Kings.
