Holiday Dinner at Metropolitan Club – December 9, 2007

After some […]

Dinner at One Restaurant in Mason – September 9, 2007

The ebb of summer gave our group a first opportunity to visit One Restaurant and Lounge in the nearby town of Mason. Situated in a converted municipal building, One has been gaining acclaim since it opened in 2005. We met at the cozy Red Room for a vast array of appetizers including stuffed mushrooms, apple […]

Dine Around at Slim’s – August 2, 2007

One great tradition that bailliages can promote is the “Dine Around” to visit local restaurants that may not be able to accommodate a large group or formal event. In the past year the Cincinnati Confrèrie has gotten into the swing with the admirable organizational efforts of Dame de la Chaîne Paula Weinkoop. We had two […]

Induction Dinner at Heritage Club – May 6, 2007

Our bailliage celebrated a second year of conducting induction ceremonies in the spring at the Heritage Club, a golfing community that provided an apt setting with greenery surrounding the clubhouse and fine amenities within.

Welcome to the Cincinnati Bailliage of the Confrérie de la Chaîne des Rôtisseurs!

Chaîne Cincinnati includes local businessmen and women, doctors, lawyers, chefs, wine distributors and retailers as well as others in the food and wine fields. Our Bailliage unites professional and amateur gastronomes in a private, not-for-profit society committed to promoting the culinary arts and those of enology and hospitality through example, education and camaraderie.

As an example, we foster the development of the culinary arts among our community's promising chefs by contributing to the Cincinnati Freestore Foodbank’s culinary education program called Cincinnati Cooks. We raise money for this purpose by asking for voluntary donations from our members annually, holding an annual wine auction and having special fundraising events.

Additionally, the Cincinnati Chaîne is home to an active chapter of Société Mondiale du Vin, an organization dedicated to enjoying and learning about the world of fine wine and spirits. Over the last few years our members have toured internationally renowned wine destinations to further their understanding of those areas and their wines.

The Bailliage de Chaîne des Rôtisseurs Cincinnati is affiliated with the Confrérie de la Chaîne des Rôtisseurs, Bailliage des Etats-Unis (United States Chapter), which is associated with the International Headquarters in Paris.

Salut and Vive la Chaîne!
