Last night, Matthew and I got a sampling of some of the west side’s finest restaurants at L’Amour du Vin to benefit the Arthritis Foundation, Northeastern Ohio, Great Lakes Region. Here’s some of what we loved:

The chicken paprikash from Hub 55

The ribs and pulled pork from Parker’s Grille and Tavern

The deconstructed stuffed peppers and Bahn Mi sliders from Heck’s Cafe

The duck crostini from Manna Food Truck (also the chit-chat…nicest folks ever!)

The sweets from Kiedrowski’s Simply Delicious Bakery, Little Devil Cupcakery (churro cupcakes, what?), and more

The silent auction items. I can’t decide whether I would more want a portrait of Tobey or Omar Vizquel hanging in my house…

The VIP specialty cocktails from Brown-Forman. The punch could actually make me like bourbon!

It was a full sensory experience and we had a wonderful evening, as always! Up next for the Arthritis Foundation is the Jingle Bell Run/Walk on Sunday, December 13 at Legacy Village. This is a really fun, family-friendly event! Click here for more information and to register.
