Cocktail recipe for Just Like Honey using vinegar from Tavern Vinegar Co. created by chef Jonathon Sawyer of The Greenhouse Tavern and Noodlecat in Cleveland, OH.

This past May, James Beard nominated chef Jonathon Sawyer was hit by a Cleveland city bus while cycling to work. The local news reported the accident and saying Sawyer was recovering. “I am not recovering, I’m working.” tweeted Sawyer. “Cleveland Rocks!” Mario Batali tweeted back to him. It’s just this get-up-and-go, full-steam ahead approach that has made Sawyer one of the most respected chefs in the country, especially amongst his peers.

Chef Sawyer was named one of Food & Wine Magazine’s Best New Chefs in 2010, nominated for the Best Chef: Great Lakes James Beard Award in 2013, and his Cleveland restaurant, The Greenhouse Tavern, was honored by Bon Appetit Magazine as one of the Best New Restaurants in the United States. Before he moved back to his hometown, he worked at The Biltmore Hotel in Miami and alongside chef Charlie Palmer at Kitchen 22 in New York. He was also the chef de cuisine for Michael Symon at Parea in Cleveland.

Chef Paul Kahan, of Publican, Blackbird and Avec in Chicago, recommends Sawyer’s cooking praising the whole roasted pig head at The Greenhouse Tavern.

We chatted with chef Sawyer about his goal of improving stadium food, why he’s passionate about vinegar and the best places to eat, drink and shop in his hometown, Cleveland.
