"This event is to promote our area restaurant brunch business. We have so many awesome brunch restaurants, and it’s fun food, so Buckeye Vodka and I got together with our MVRA restaurants and came up with Buckeye Vodka’s Let’s Get Brunched," said Amy Zahora, executive director of the Miami Valley Restaurant Association (MVRA). "Each restaurant will offer one to two items from their brunch menus and their creative bartenders will feature their best Buckeye Vodka brunch cocktail. This may be a Bloody Mary or some type of Moscow Mule. And yes, we are holding the event on a Wednesday night, because who doesn’t love breakfast for dinner?"
Each restaurant will be judged on Best Brunch Cocktail, Best Pairing, and People’s Choice for Best Cocktail.
