One of my absolute favorite things to do is make a meal out of appetizers. Satisfying little bites of yummyness that give you lots of different tastes and flavors to explore. Which is why Cleveland’s Finest Hors d’Oeuvre Contest has become a much-anticipated event for me.
Spanning two floors of the Terrace Club at Progressive Field, this event offers appetizers to sample from some of Cleveland’s best restaurants, including Hodge’s, Tartine Bistro, The Woods, Corleone’s Restaurant & Bar, the Zack Bruell Restaurant Group, and more.
There’s an interactive component to all this good eating, as attendees get to vote for their favorite hors d’oeuvre and see the winner crowned at the end of the evening.
Add in complimentary beer and wine samples, plus fabulous silent auction prizes, live music from Nate Jones and The One Hit Wonders Unplugged, complimentary parking, and desserts from Becker’s Bakery and you have a truly delicious event!
Plus, all this food and fun benefit Our Lady of the Wayside, which for nearly 50 years has been supporting children and adults with developmental disabilities through services such as group homes, transportation, employment, and the Pathways Program.
