Welcome to the first (of hopefully many) giveaway here on Exploring Food My Way!
I have in my possession three $25 gift cards to the recently opened AMP 150 up near the Cleveland Hopkins International airport. I originally thought about having three separate giveaways and asking readers to answer trivia questions in order to qualify. Then I quickly came to my senses and realized that if I wanted maximum participation that I should make it as easy as possible for you to channel your inner Arnold Horshack and shout "Ooh-ooh-ooooh!" Sadly, no extra credit points are being offered if you can identify the TV show I just referenced, but you will get a commiserating look from me because you, too, are now officially "old."
To that end, if you would like to participate in the giveaway, simply leave a comment on this blog post saying that you'd like one of the gift cards. You must identify yourself in either the name you give or if you select "Anonymous", you'll need to identify yourself in the actual comment portion. If you don't, I have no way of identifying who you are if you win. The contest will be open from Sunday, April 25th 12:00 AM through Sunday, May 9th 12:00 AM (EST). At that time, I will use a random number generator and pick three comments and announce the winners in a separate blog post. The winners will then have one week to contact me via email in order to supply me with a postal address so I can send out the gift cards. Feel free to leave multiple comments if you want to increase your odds of being selected, but as I want AMP 150 to get as much exposure as possible, I am going to limit one card per winner.
And speaking of exposure to AMP 150, I wanted to invite you to come back on Monday morning and read my review of an amazing six course mushroom dinner featuring the wonderful products being grown at Killbuck Valley and being prepared and served by Chef Ellis Cooley. It was an incredible meal and as a by-product of that dinner, I have these fantastic gift cards to give away.
Good luck!
I was just there tonight. I love Amp 150. So naturally I'm going to say "Oooo, oooo, oooo" Mr. Kotter.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back, Mr. Noe. I am older than old. And I'd love to win a gift card. Amp 150 is on my 2010 list of restaurants i'm dying to visit. This would be a nice way to defray the cost. Though I will go regardless. It sounds outrageous!
ReplyDeleteI visit your blog quite often. I enjoy your reviews have tried a few of the restaurants you have visited thanks to your blogging about them. I would love to win a gift card to AMP 150 as that is somewhere we have not tried yet!
ReplyDeleteSounds delicious! I have been impressed with every restaurant that I've tried based on your reviews, so I would be thrilled to try this one as well. As for being old, I prefer to think that everyone else is just way too young!
ReplyDeleteI have heard nothing but good things about AMP 150 and look forward to trying it (hopefully with a gift card in hand).
ReplyDeleteGlad to see your return to the blog earlier this week. I'd definitely love to win one of the AMP 150 gift cards!

Another comment from me..
ReplyDeleteI just think it's awesome that more restaurants with food of great quality are cropping up in Akron and Cleveland. We're kind of in the inbetween area, and aren't big travelers, so we only get to try a few.. but there are so many to try now, of which Amp150 is one! And mother's day is coming up.. ;)
My friend designed some promotional material for them. Ever since I saw that, I've wanted to go try them out! Haven't been there yet, but want to very soon!

ReplyDeleteWell....Tom thanks for recommendation! You probably already gave away all of the gift cards, but if not it would be a nice 60th Birthday (for my dad), Mother's Day (for me), and surprise for my Chef Hubby. I enjoyed reading your blog for my first time! Jen

ReplyDeleteI missed the group dinner that Stuart put together (out of town as usual). I do want to check this restaurant out some time.

ReplyDeleteOh, nice double-post.
ReplyDeleteDoes that double my odds?

AMP 150 is our newest favorite restaurant. We went there by mistake last fall to use a Jack's Steakhouse gift certificate. They honored the old restaurant gift certificate and we had the time of our life eating the most delicious food. It was even better to find out about the fresh and natural and even some of the organic foods used on the menu. We have returned 3 times since and have had excellent food and service. I have no complaints. I even think the portions are growing larger since our first visit. I thought the original portions were perfect size, but we don't mind doggie bags and eating leftovers the next day. Chef Ellis, you are a wonder to my pallette! Everything has been so phenominal!
