French fries topped with s mores. Pierogi tacos. Polish boy burgers featuring grilled kielbasa in tribute to Cleveland. A Sasquatch burger served between two grilled cheese sandwiches. And gummi margaritas.
Even that quick rant of customized menu offerings can t do justice to the entire repertoire at the new Fizzlestix Kitchen + Bar restaurant at 3242 Lincoln Way E in Perry Township.
After working for years in various capacities in the restaurant industry, Jeff Buynak said the eclectic and unusual recipes will be the signature of his family-oriented e when it opens May 3.
The 49-year-old Buynak s restaurant work began as a 16-year-old dishwasher.
Later he moved his way up from bartender to supervisor to general manager and district manager for Damon s Grill.
Astonishment is evident as Stephan C. Baity reflects on his journey from a youth in northeast and southeast Canton neighborhoods to a celebrity chef and renowned fruit-and-vegetable sculptor.
Wonder turns to pride when he speaks not of his own adversity but that of his late father, Stephan Baity, who overcame the demons of drug and alcohol addiction. Somehow the light shined in the midst of darkness, said the younger Baity, a 1998 McKinley High School graduate.
That s why Baity s involvement in the April 29 Quest Cooks fundraising event has personal meaning. The event is on behalf of CommQuest, which provides recovery services for mental illness, anxiety, depression and drug and alcohol addiction, as well as school-based mental health services.
