17 Cleveland Foods On A Stick That Are Borderline Genius

Corn Dog at Banter Beer and Wine

7320 Detroit Rd., 216-801-0305
This 2-year-old fixture in Detroit Shoreway promises beer, sausage and Montreal-style poutine, but they've also got a handful of hot dogs on the menu. If you'd rather save the go-to stadium mustard-slathered variety for Progressive Field, try their corn dog (served on a stick, drizzled with ketchup and mustard, of course).

Chill Pops

Area Grocery stores
Unquestionably the most summery stick food, popsicles come in many forms. But consider forgoing standard gumball-eyed cartoon characters and frozen fruit for these Cleveland-born treats — you won't find flavors like black pepper plum and avocado mint chip anywhere else.

Pretty Much Anything at County Fairs

Cuyahoga Fairgrounds, 19201 E Bagley Rd, Middleburg Heights, 440-243-0090
County fairs are the Midwest's pride and joy, and not just because of the rides. They've become synonymous with the food they offer, and Ohio's packed summer schedule ensures plenty of opportunities for you to get nearly anything you ever wanted deep-fried food on a stick.

Chicken Satay at Bac

2661 W. 14th St., 216-938-8960
Why enjoy your grilled chicken with a fork and knife when you could do so on a stick? This Tremont spot has you covered with their perfectly-seasoned chicken satay.

Brownie Pops at Sweet Moses

6800 Detroit Rd., 216-651-2202
Sweet Moses is probably best known for its colossal sundaes, but that's not all they have to offer. If you're not in the mood for ice cream, try one of their brownie pops. Moses Cleaveland would approve, we think.

Pork Belly Ramen at Yuzu

13603 Madison Ave., 440-799-8343
Yuzu's menu offers up everything from s'mores to Korean-style beef and Bento Boxes. With their array of internationally-inspired meat, it makes sense that much of it would be served unconventionally (in this case, on sticks).

Candy at B.A. Sweetie Candy Company

6770 Brookpark Rd., 216-739-2244
Boasting the "largest candy store in the country" title, this massive warehouse holds 40,000 square feet of sweet treats, many of which must be consumed via stick (i.e. lollipops and rock candy).

Mackerel at Night Market Cleveland

Rockwell Ave
There's still three Night Markets left this summer, which means three more nights to catch a varied and surprising array of Asian food on sticks that you won't anywhere else. With 200-plus vendors, it'll probably be overwhelming, but we recommend the mackerel. Seriously, fish on a stick.

Cake Pops at The Cute Little Cake Shop

15131 Pearl Rd., Strongsville, 440-846-1352
It's not socially acceptable to eat an entire cake by yourself, but there's no unspoken rules about how many cake pops you can consume. The Little Cake Shop is a prime local spot for the mini (but no less delicious) dessert.

Sushi Pops at Dante

2247 Professor Ave. Suite C, 216-274-1200
Like the push-pops of your youth without the gooey orange mess, Dante's sushi pops are the perfect summer stick food when you're bored with traditional sushi rolls. Yes, sushi on a stick.
