A limited number of tickets went on sale in August and sold out in less than 24 hours. The remaining tickets also are expected to sell out quickly. Tickets cost $250 and include valet parking, tastings of the chefs’ signature dishes, an open bar and commemorative 22-ounce bottles of Butcher’s Brew, a commemorative hand-brewed lager by Great Lakes Brewing Company in honor of the momentous milestone.
I think this centennial gala will be fantastic. What a great celebration. I will say though (In a snarky voice) I don't want to hear how bad the economy is in Cleveland when even the second round of $250 gala tickets sold out. If tons of people can afford that then they can continue supporting local restaurants and stores.
