Silver Spoon Awards Winner

I will have a couple of new posts next week including Olive Oil-Poached Halibut and Potatoes & Arugula. Heinen's is also sponsoring another giveaway, so be sure to check in Monday morning to enter!

Thank you to everyone who entered the ticket giveaway to the The 16th Annual Cleveland Magazine Silver Spoon Awards Party I wish I could give everyone tickets, but I only had one pair and the winner was.....Jyll. Congratulations!!!

To everyone else, I encourage you to head over to the Silver Spoon website and order tickets today. The VIP tickets are sold out but there are still plenty of general admission tickets. Not sure it's worth the money even thought it's tax deductible and benefits the Arthritis Foundation, Northeastern Ohio Chapter? Maybe some of the auction items will change your mind. If you are a big fan of Iron Chef Michael Symon, you'll definitely want to bid on the Iron Chef package that includes attendance to a live taping of Iron Chef in New York City!

If the auction items don't get you excited, maybe the menu for the evening will. Check out the highlights below courtesy of Poise in Parma:
