In Videos: Cleveland's Sausage Shoppe, Featured on 'No Reservations,' Celebrating Anniversary
Blogger David Lay points out that Cleveland's legendary Sausage Shoppe will celebrate its 70th year 71st year tomorrow and highlights a video segment from the Cleveland episode of No Reservations. It's nice to see that the current owners—Norm Heinle, his wife, Carol, and their kids—are continuing a tradition that began with founder Hans Kirchberger. Happy anniversary, Sausage Shoppe!

It seems it's turning 71. It was founded in 1938. It's weird that the linked post mentions that it was started in 1938 and still says it's 70 years today.

I love the sausage shoppe and it's so unfortunate that when Norm passes away, that will be the end of this little gem.

@painaxl: Well, somehow it turning 71 seems less momentous and newsworthy than 70. That sort of ruins this post in some small way, I think. :(

It's still momentous, I think - an artisan shop such as this celebrating 70 years in business is no small feat these days.

Didn't mean to imply that it was somehow less significant (the stuff there so good it bears reminding for any reason). Just thought it was funny that the Shoppe's website itself is running a 71st anniversary special. :)

painaxl, No worries. :) I chalk it up to not having enough coffee before writing the blog post...

@dlayphoto: It's true. Thanks for pointing it out. I'd forgotten about SS from that episode. Seventy-plus years is indeed momentous—but 70, the nice, even decade count, seems much more significant than 71.
