A New Year, A New Design

Well, it's a new year...and it was time for a new blog design. It was on my "blog bucket list" for Year Three, and after asking around I ended up using Ashley from Little Leaf Design (who has been very popular lately with the Cleveland bloggers). So...TA DA!

With the new design comes new blog features as well.

1. "About" page, which shares a little bit more of my story and how I landed in our wonderful city
2. Blogroll has moved to its own page (check out some of my favorite Cleveland blogs- only local love here)
3. You can now search by neighborhood/city in the Restaurant Reviews list
4. Touch Supper Club has challenged me to review the taco scene in the Cleveland area, so I'm starting a "Taco Tuesday" ongoing series (which will also be available in the Restaurant Reviews list)
5. Lastly, I'll be launching another new series called "Dining Deals"- meals under $10 (you'll be able to find the posts in the Restaurant Reviews list too)

It's going to be a good blog year, and I'm excited to have a fresh new design to kick it off. Actually, I'm so excited that I want to offer a delicious giveaway to one lucky reader...

- $25 gift certificate to Pearl of the Orient
- $25 gift certificate to Americano
- $25 gift certificate to Creekside Restaurant & Bar

Just leave me a comment on this post telling me your favorite restaurant/bar in the area that offers TACOS. I've got to get on this mission! You can receive a second entry by tweeting "@BiteBuff has a new blog design and is giving away restaurant gift certificates at http://tinyurl.com/7c7xe75 ". Make sure that you leave a second comment to let me know that you tweeted. I'll select a winner on Monday using random.org.

It's going to be a fun year for the blog. I hope that you continue to enjoy my adventures in dining, and give me a shout if you want to join me on an excursion! Thanks for everything.

- Katrina

  1. For me, it is a toss up between Deagan's and Touch. Although I do love a good "mom and pop" Mexican restaurant!

  8. Can I pick two? I love Zocalo (who even has a Taco Tuesday deal!!) and also Deagan's. Yay for Taco Tuesday - I'm always on the search for a good fish taco (my faves) that isn't deep fried. Can't wait to hear more!

  9. While not exactly a "taco", Momocho's does out of this world taquitos (which are basically unassembled soft tacos). The happy hour in the bar is the BEST time to go...all of them are 1/2 off and tasty margaritas too.

    Deagan's shrimp tacos are hands down my favorite. But maybe that will change once you start reviewing...........? :)

  18. I look forward to the new blog. You have some great ideas!

    My favorite taco is when Beach Club Bistro holds their special. I haven't seen it recently, as they've been doing a fried rice night, instead. However, I loved their tacos- delicious, filling and priced well!

  24. Deagan's because I love fresh cilantro and they stuff them with lots of it. Nice look, but the link to Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom) didn't work for some reason? Maybe just me.
