Contributing Writer Jason Burchaski Jason “52″ Burchaski has been a lifelong Cleveland resident. He became well known in the independent Cleveland music and restaurant scene when his first foray in the world of blogging kicked off in 2009 as 52 Weeks of Cleveland hit the internet running. His blog of equal parts reviews and healthy doses of brutal honesty earned him respect and fans across the city. His in your face approach earned just as many enemies as well pulling no punches in some pretty scathing commentary of a city on the mend. Email: jburchaski@rocketmail.com |
