Top 10 Restaurants
My last blog consisted of a " Top Restaurants in Cleveland" list. I received a few comments inquiring about how these restaurants made this particular list. After emailing the web site in which I received the information from, I was told that this list was used as a promotional tool, where the restaurants on the list were simply trying to get their name out to the public. I am guessing they pay a small fee to the website which then lists them as one of the " top restaurants in Cleveland."
I myself, thought there were many other restaurants that should have made a list like this, however, this certainly explains things. I am currently in the process of finding the true top 10 restaurants in the Cleveland area. Hope this clears things up.

What most people fail to realize is that the restaurant industry is quite important to our economy as a whole. The overall economic impact of the industry is expected to exceed 1.3 trillion dollars this year. 1.3 trillion dollars! This includes sales in other industries such as agriculture, manufacturing, and transportation. Here's another interesting fact; every dollar spent by consumers in restaurants generates an additional $2.34 spent in other industries and every additional $1 million dollars in restaurant sales generates an additional 3 jobs for the nation's economy.
With the industry sales forecasted to advance 5.1% in 2006, it seems like this could only lead to positive things for the economy as a whole.
