I think it’s safe to say most (if not all) of us love eating local. There’s something about a meal prepared with fresh, local, high-quality ingredients that just tastes better.
For all of you local culinary lovers who missed last week’s Taste of the Browns giveaway, today’s giveaway features another great food event raising money for an excellent cause.
On Friday, September 27, the National MS Society’s Ohio Buckeye Chapter will host Locavore. The fundraiser starts at 6pm at Windows on the River on the West Bank of the Flats.
Good food is only made better by great pairings, especially if you’re talking about dishes from Cleveland chefs paired with chocolate and Ohio-grown wines — which I am!
Vendors at Locavore will include Lilly Handmade Chocolates, Momocho, Mod Mex, Maize Valley Winery, AMP 150, Cork & Cleaver Social Kitchen, Valley Vineyards, Jammy Buggars, and Mitchell’s Homemade Ice Cream. This year’s sponsors are Ulmer & Berne LLP, Cleveland Business Connects, and DDR.
All proceeds raised by tickets and the evening’s raffle and silent auction will go to the NMSS Ohio Buckeye Chapter.
The Ohio Buckeye Chapter serves over 11,000 people with MS and their families in a 38-county area. Through the support of donations and volunteers they provide funds for cutting-edge research, drive change through advocacy, facilitate professional education, and provide programs and services that help people with MS and their families move their lives forward. You can learn more about their services at MSohiobuckeye.org.
The presentation of this year’s Individual of Inspiration Award will also take place at Locavore. The 2013 honoree is Susie Zimmer, being celebrated for her help in making it easier for the local MS community to participate in therapeutic aquatic classes.
Tickets for Locavore cost $60 per person, which includes the food and drinks provided by the vendors (a cash bar will also be available).
$80 Patron tickets include all of that, plus entrance into an exclusive, expert-led wine tasting at 5:30 pm. This pre-party will explore the nuances of each wine available at Locavore and discuss the Ohio Quality Wine program. Click here to purchase tickets online or call 216-503-4183.

I did not know that MS affected so many things. I thought it was limited to numbness and pains and coordination.

I wont go into detail, but I’ve been through a couple of MRIs because they keep thinking I have MS. I learned a lot new in just a few minutes at this site! The Vitamin D link – to me it’s a HUGE deal because my doctor tested my Vit D levels and said while nearly everyone in Ohio has low levels, she had never seen a level as low as mine. I’m on a prescription dose of it now – for the second time.
