Eleven Wyandotte restaurants will be crawling with food lovers from 6 to 10 p. m. Aug. 11 when the Southern Wayne County Regional Chamber sponsors its third annual Grub Crawl.
Tickets, $20, are available only in advance at www.swcrc.com or (734) 284-6000.
According to Saundra Mull, chamber vice president, approximately 50 participants will be assigned to each of the 11 restaurants to receive Grub Crawl T-shirts in exchange for their tickets.
The restaurants will provide food samples (beverages will be available for purchase) and parking.
A shuttle will transport guests to the eateries throughout the evening and return the participants to their starting locations at the conclusion of the crawl. The T-shirts will provide admission to the restaurants and transportation on the shuttles.
Eateries taking part in the crawl include Belicoso Café, Lions & Ti-gers & Beers, Portofino’s, the Downriver Italian American Hall and Michelangelo’s Italian Bistro.
Others are the Riverside Banquet Center, Silver Shores Waterfront, Jack’s on the River, Pier 500, Smokie’s and Solero Café.
More than 600 people participated in the Grub Crawl last year.
