Now, my opinion of this event is a little biased because I used to work at the Cleveland Foodbank and planning this event was one of my big projects...but this does not change the fact that this is a fun and unique event, and truly one of the season's best food events. Now that I no longer work there, I get to actually attend as a guest and I can't wait!
It is being held on Monday, September 12th from 6-9PM. The event features over 25 of our area's best independent chefs and restaurants. Here are just a few of my personal favorites: Bar Cento (pictured above at the 2010 event), Fahrenheit, AMP 150, Light Bistro, Melange, Momocho, Zack Bruell's restaurants, and the list goes on...
And you're sampling all of this food (and wine, beer, and specialty martinis) down at Browns Stadium while you meet and mingle with alumni and current players. There is usually quite the crowd of them in attendance! The event also features a fabulous silent and live auction, including restaurant dining packages, Browns tickets and autographed memorabilia, and more. All proceeds benefit the Cleveland Foodbank. Tickets are $150, but each dollar donated to the Foodbank translates into 4 meals served in a local hunger center!
You can purchase tickets here, or enter to win TWO general admission tickets by leaving a comment below telling me which Taste of the Browns restaurant you want to try the most. It will be hard to choose! For a second chance to win, just tweet the following statement: "I want to win #TasteoftheBrowns tickets from @BiteBuff at http://tinyurl.com/3vb6atj." Please leave a comment on this post for each entry. I will use random.com to select a winner on Thursday, August 25th. Good luck, and I hope to see you there!
Disclosure: I was previously employed by the Cleveland Foodbank. They have provided me with one media pass in exchange for this post. As always, the thoughts and opinions above are 100% my own.

I am looking forward to trying Pier W! This is a great idea to promote The Taste of The Browns...I really believe in the Cleveland Foodbank and the services they provide to local residents in need!
I tweeted, too! (@DanaMarieEsq)

I love food! I think we have great restaurants in Cleveland and our surround suburbs. I have always wanted to try Three Birds. I have heard excellent things about them.
And I tweeted!
Thanks for all the comments, everyone! Keep 'em comin'!
I tweeted the post!!
I love L'Albaros and would love to try anything from Zack's restaurants.
I'm a huge Jeff Jarrett fan, so AMP 150 would be first.
I want to try Amp 150!!!
I would like to try Fahrenheit Restaurant. Chef Rocco is such a great supporter of all things local and such a proud Clevelander. Plus I heard his food rocks!
i tweeted it up!
I want to try L'Albaros badly! However I'm on the West side and the long haul over 480 to eat dinner on the east side has been a minor setback ;)
I would love to "re-try" Pier W because I did not have a great first experience!
I'd have to go with AMP 150 - their menu looks amazing!!
i tweeted too (@Bluebook7)!
tough choice! perhaps Melange - but i also want to try MORE food from farenheit!!
One Red door! I would love to see what they have to offer!!
AD- Get your butt over from the west side to check out L'Albatros! It is soooo worth the drive, and one of Cleveland's best restaurants. We do, and so can you.
This is like choosing a favorite child! I guess since Amp 150 is the only place out of that list I haven't tried yet but have really been wanting to, I would have to say I'd be most excited about trying their food.
I still haven't tried AMP. I am looking forward to their grub!
also tweeted about this event. @masongoodman
I've been wanting to try AMP 150 and already love Momocho!
I'm actually dying to try One Red Door...heard great things about it!
Momocho without a doubt!!
I always look forward to seeing what Melange creates at these events.
I'd like to try Light Bistro...I've always heard great things about their food.

I want to try Chinato! I love Italian food.
I also Tweeted!
Thanks for highlighting this event -- I heard about it last year and couldn't wait for it to come back around. I'm eager to check out Players on Madison's showing.
The restaurant I am most anxious to try is Melange. I have always wanted to eat there and haven't made it yet.
I have never tried Pier W.
tweeted also
I'm most excited to try One Red Door - I haven't been there but I've heard mixed reviews so I want to try it for myself! HOPE I WIN! :)
PS - I tweeted too! :)
I'd say AMP150...haven't been back since Chef Ellis left so I'd like to see how things are the same/different.
@BiteBuff I know, I know! So much to try, I love the Cleveland food blogs- Thanks for sharing all your tidbits, I am living vicariously through your blog, ha!
Would live to try Momocho
It's so hard to choose... but I'm going to say Momocho.
I want to try Light Bistro's fare since I've never been there!

I would love to try a lot of these fantastic restaurants. But, why I really want to go (in addition to supporting a great organization like the Cleveland Foodbank) is to support Chef Demetrios Athenios from Deagan's Kitchen and Bar! I work there, too, and he is an amazing chef...not to mention a pretty great guy!!
i'd like to try L''Albatros
I really really really would like to try AMP 150.
Congrats to @masongoodman! Contact me to claim your tickets by Monday.
