um, yes, this info came from ESPN Magazine. Thanks again, guys.
Let's do the quick and less surprising/interesting one first. Derek Anderson eats burgers. Not unusual in the meat-loving NFL. Steak is a MAJOR theme. Sort of boring. Forgive me. Keep reading...
Brady Quinn, who celebrated his 23rd bday on the 27th, has a great pre-game food ritual: he gulps (his word) honey. Apparently his dad and uncle thought it would be good to get him all sugared up before pee wee games. Now he believes it helps coat/protect his throat against all his "yelling as a QB."
Any honey will do, but the bear bottles came to his mind. The Scoreboard Gourmet prefers manuka. The Scoreboard Gourmet also thinks honey+athletics makes sense: she has been known to down honey while hiking.
The Browns host the Seahawks on Sunday 11/4 at 4:05pm
This (pictures) is as close as I've gotten to the Browns Stadium. what can I say? I've only been to Cleveland in the summer. That's why I need Your help. The Browns are home again on 11/4 at 4:05pm v the Seahawks. I could surely use some insider guidance (via comments or email ) to share with other readers of Scoreboard Gourmet. Thanks. 
True it's 6.5miles from the home of the Browns, but so what? Every time I leave home I realize that everyone in the world has a car. And, anyway, Melt Bar and Grilled is awesome. And I don't even like Fat bread. In fact, I sort of Hate Fat bread but I still love this grilled cheese restaurant in greater Clev
eland (technically Lakewood). May I repeat: Grilled Cheese Restaurant. They have some 20 different grilled cheeses that all come with fries and slaw. It's heavenly.
Pictured front is the Grilled Peanut Butter & Banana which has PB, berry preserves, cream cheese, and banana. Behind it is Wake & Bacon: fried egg, bacon, American cheese.
Even if the restaurant's walls were not covered with sports memorabilia, I'd still tell you to run to Lakewood and have a grilled cheese before or after the game. You can ride along the water to/from the Browns Stadium.

The Browns are home v the Ravens at 1pm on 9/30. The Indians (also not far) next home game is TBD.
Blondies is the home of the Penn State Alumni, Michigan State Alumni, University of Oklahoma, University of Virginia, Northwestern University, University of Kansas, Indiana University, University of Tennessee, Ohio State, Johns Hopkins University and the home of the Cleveland Browns Backers.
Brownies fans meet at upstairs Blondies East on gamedays. It's a great crowd. And the pigs in blankets are good too. If I was not recovering from watching the Indians yesterday with my favorite Browns fans, I'd be heading up there now. Maybe I can pull myself together. Other games will be on the smaller screens but the crowd will be BROWNS.
The Browns play the Raiders at 4:05pm (ET)

it was before 1pm, 6h to kickoff, when I saw these guys and their excellent set-up. more to write, of course, but I'm rushing off to a wedding. Go Browns! who else is out there already? and who's going inside to let me know what You ate at the preseason game?
Ballpark or Stadium Mustard?
Which is better? Which is the favorite in town? Can some Clevelanders please write in and tell me what Mustard You like best?
According to Irene Dever who sells both from her stall in the West Side Market, the difference between the mustards is that Stadium has cayenne. So the Browns like it spicy, huh? Well, not only the Browns, Stadium Mustard gets around. I'm trying to locate a complete list of stadiums/arenas where SM is served. Here are some things I can tell you...
Ballpark: since 1925, 16oz container, kosher, 10 calories per 1 teaspoon (little sugar in there)
Stadium: 50+ years old, 12oz container, 5 calories per 1 teaspoon, no sugar
$2.50 from Irene Dever
$2.39 from Giant Eagle...but you already know the West Side Market is so worth the trip
Honestly, I've only opened a Ballpark since returning home. but I plan to have a Mustard v Mustard tasting soon. stay tuned.
