Don’t be gauche, eat your langos! Immigrant Son's Andrew Revy, himself a son of Hungarian immigrants, wanted to show Clevelanders that there were better beer snacks out there. “I didn’t want to say, ‘Here’s another brewpub and here’s another pretzel,’” Revy says. Pronounced lawn-goesh, it’s Hungarian fried bread at its most simple, served either rubbed with garlic butter and sprinkled with Maldon salt ($6) or dressed up with sour cream and cheese curds ($8).

The West Lakewood menu has an entire section dedicated to the fried delights and even features a locally sourced wagyu beef hot dog wrapped in the langos and fried ($9) — a perfect example of the global mashup Immigrant Son stands for. “The gospel of langos has been spreading through Cleveland,” Revy says. Just one bite might make you a believer. immigrantsonbrewing.com
