Submit Selections for 2016 To Dine Challenge

Wow, December 1st already, huh?

But...you know what that means. Time for you, dear readers, to submit your picks for my 2016 To Dine Challenge.

For those of you that are unfamiliar: Each December, Bite Buff readers make suggestions on restaurants that I should dine at in the upcoming year. At the end of the month, I'll select 10 and challenge myself to complete all ten by the close of the year. I'll post the final list on January 1st on my blog. As a New Year's Resolution, of sorts.

I want to hear from YOU. Where should I dine in 2016?

What's your favorite neighborhood haunt? A local spot that doesn't get the "buzz" that it deserves? Something off of the beaten path? A new restaurant that just opened and you're dying to try?

Hit me with them! Submit ideas by commenting on this post, or by tweeting (@BiteBuff) or Facebooking me. You have until December 31st to submit your choices.

Speaking of the To Dine Challenge...I hit two of the 2015 restaurants recently, so stay tuned for posts on those this week. Only one more to visit before the end of the month. I can do it!

Mama Roberto's in Mentor. So much food, it hurts. I love their pizza dough.

I know it's not Cleveland, but Brick Oven Bistro in Sandusky really impressed me with their wood-fired pizzas. You go to that region in the summer, so it's not that far off.

On the Rise Bakery will open a cafe in 2016 and if you haven't had one of their sandwiches, you are seriously missing out. I hear they will offer brunch as well. Even if it doesn't make the list, you should should meet me there just to try the bahn mi.

Also, Taste of Jamaica recently moved. We discovered it through Trattner and they dish out some fantastic Jamaican food.

Finally, what about Chow Chow Kitchen in Lakewood?
