Today is a good day in my blog world. This post is #500.
When I started this little ole blog in 2009, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. It was just started as an outlet for my passion for writing, and I was enjoying exploring the new city that I had started to call "home." I wanted to share my dining experiences beyond the in-person conversations that I was constantly having with friends, family, and co-workers about our restaurant scene, not knowing if anyone would really be reading or not.
Well, almost five years later, I'm still here and so are you. Let's celebrate!
It's no secret that Cork & Cleaver Social Kitchen in Broadview Heights has become a favorite of mine since they opened this year. Have you been yet? If so, then you've probably fallen in love with their food as well. I haven't had a bad meal there yet. Haven't been? Well, here's your chance...
In celebration of blog post #500, I'm giving away a $25 gift certificate to Cork & Cleaver.
There are a few ways that you can enter:
1. Leave a comment on this blog post, suggesting a restaurant for my 2014 To Dine Challenge. I'm looking for restaurants that I haven't been to yet, that you want to see me visit in the next year. I'll select 10, and announce them on January 1st as my New Year's Resolution, of sorts.
2. Tweet: "I want @BiteBuff to send me to @CorkCleaver in celebration of number 500. You could win too at http://tinyurl.com/kntuo9d." Leave another comment on this blog post, with a link to your tweet.
3. "Like" my fan page on Facebook, and "like" Cork and Cleaver Social Kitchen too. Leave another comment on this blog post, telling me that you like both.
You can enter the giveaway using one or more methods. I will select the winner using random.org on Friday, December 20th.
Truly, thank you for reading and sharing in my experiences. This blog is such a source of fun and adventure for me, and I'm thrilled to have reached 500. Good luck!

I like you both on FB although Cork and Cleaver is new to me. I will have to check it out!
I know I already recommended Sweet Melissa on another post, I'd also recommend checking out Fat Heads in North Olmsted in 2014.
I also like both pages. I'd love to try out Cork & Cleaver, I haven't been there yet!

I think you should try the new Peachtree Southern Kitchen in Hudson.

Congrats on 500!
The Rail at Great Northern Mall
Have you been to Ray's Place in Kent. Great beer and better than bar food.
Happy 500th post.
I already like you and C&C on facebook :-)
I think you should give SoHo another try. We just 'kinda liked' it on our first visit, too. But have found the food and service just got better each time we went - and it's now one of my favorite places. Also, although it's not a restaurant - Rising Star Coffee Roasters with a Cleveland Bagel Company bagel.
Many congrats!!!
You know, I STILL haven't been to C+C!! What is wrong with me!?!?
My recommendation is Edwins.

I am recommending bar 145 in kent! amazing food and the build your own burger has lots of yummy choices!!!
Corso's in North Olmsted or Nuevo Acapuclo also in NO, two of my favorites.
I'd suggest trying Toast. - Sarah Sbret37@gmail.com
You should try Le Petit Triangle in Ohio City. Great brunch, great crepes. Really nice place!

Congrats on 500 posts! My restaurant suggestion is Michaelangelo's in Little Italy (I don't see it on your dining roll).

You've got to visit the Beachland Ballroom & Tavern for Sunday brunch. Their cocktails and pancake de jours can't be beat!
Congrats on the major milestone! I don't see The Mad Greek or Vero Bistro on your list yet.

It's sort of a fast-casual take on Mediterranean but it is so good (from what I've had there), so I'm recommending La Kabob in Strongsville, OH.
My vote, even though it may not technically be its own restaurant, is Phat Daddy's Kitchen inside of a Riverside Pub in a West Park. Wild Boar tacos are out of sight!!
I like your page and Cork and Cleaver's.

OK so there's this COMPLETELY random teeny tiny little place called Asian Gardens and Tea Room in Portage Lakes/Akron, and they have THE best Pho and homemade egg rolls of all time. This guy and his wife bought the tea room a couple of years ago and turned it into the combo tea room/asian garden. She's vietnamese and makes the best pho ever. Hands down. ;) No one even knows about it.
