Cleveland Restaurant Gift Certificate Giveaway

Update....and the WINNER IS....Elliot Post #10!
Thank you everyone for participating.  
Look for another giveaway in late January/Early February!

I had a wonderful Christmas with my family and my girlfriend's family.   We are both very fortunate to have such great families and it really made me want to give something back to someone who reads my blogs.  Writing my Restaurant Reviews and Craftbeer Reviews really is a joy, so why not spread some of that joy by getting a lucky reader out to a local Cleveland Restaurant for some good food and drinks!

Restaurant.com has been a wonderful resource for me. I am going to give away one of my $25 Gift Certificates to a restaurant to help promote the Cleveland Food Scene!!   The winner will have a choice of 4 different restaurants to choose from!

      I would like to win because, well, I really like food. (In fact, I'm giving away bacon over on my site right now. Go look, I'll wait.) I'd also relish the chance to try a restaurant I haven't visited yet.

      Following now. Because who doesn't like beer? Even communists like beer.

      Sorry, I got confused (or excited by the prospect of beer) but I'm following that one now, too.

      Elliott said...

      I try to avoid the Facebook and I don't do the Twitter (there's a blog post about that somewhere...) but this counts as my second extra entry for following the beer blog.


      Mmmmm, beer....

      I would love to win because I've never been to the West side. So, if there would be a gift certificate for somewhere in Lakewood or close by, I would gladly venture out of Willoughby!

      robataka said...

      Okay, I followed on twitter (robataka), but for some reason can't add it to either of my neo lists. hmmm.....

      robataka said...

      not a retweet, but a tweet with the link to the contest....does that count?

      Kasey said...

      Entry #2 - I "liked" your page on FB :)

      Kasey said...

      Entry #3 - I already follow you on twitter.... doesn't that count??

      Kasey said...

      Entry #4 - I just promoted the contest on twitter & used your twitter addy so you'll see it... BTW, in doing so, I realized I had NOT been following you, but am now, so entry #3 is totally legit! :)
