The Zack Bruell Restaurant Group kicked off their annual Tour de Bruell on Memorial Day and it's better than ever. Cleveland's tastiest contest runs through Labor Day, September 5.  

The 2016 Tour includes six Bruell restaurants:

• Alley Cat
• L’Albatros
• Parallax
• Chinato
• Cowell & Hubbard
• Table 45

If you purchase an entree  at one of the participating restaurants, you get a punch in your ticket. When the ticket is complete, it can be turned in at any participating restaurant to be entered into two drawings. Zack Bruell goes all out for this contest - these prizes are awesome!

1. The grand prize is a four-course dinner for eight at the winner’s home prepared by Chef Bruell. I can't even imagine how awesome this would be!
2. Finish the tour in the first 30 days and be entered to win a progressive dinner throughout several Zack Bruell’s restaurants. Five lucky winners and their guests will be selected at random from submitted complete tickets to enjoy the chauffer-driven progressive dinner. 6 people + 6 restaurants = one hell of a party!

Plus, everyone who fills their ticket throughout the 2016 Tour de Bruell can attend a complimentary VIP party at Table 45 in September.

The restaurants will feature wines from The Calling, the Sonoma-based joint-venture of CBS sportscaster Jim Nantz and Peter Deutsch of Deutsch Family Wine & Spirits.
Even though I've eaten at all of the restaurants many, many times, somehow I've never completed the Tour! I hope 2016 is my year to finally make it happen...

The Flats are back. After years of hoping and waiting and wondering, this waterfront entertainment district is back in business, better than...
