Induction Dinner at Cincinnati Country Club – May 17, 2009

Induction dinner parties are always a time for joy, camaraderie, and a good measure of revelry. Ours was all that and more as we celebrated a dozen new members into the Confrérie. Cincinnati Country Club was our setting, perhaps the oldest such establishment in the area and often sought for social affairs. Chevalier Jack Osborn […]

Dinner at Chinese Gourmet – March 1, 2009

Chinese New Year brought an opportunity to explore cuisine our Bailliage has rarely enjoyed by visiting a local institution, China Gourmet. Their tradition of classic Chinese dishes in an atmosphere of fine dining was established over 30 years ago and has carried them through the decades. Although we were entering the Year of the Ox […]

Holiday Party at Netherland Plaza – December 14, 2008

This year’s holiday party returned us to the fabulous art deco Netherland Plaza as an apt setting for our winter formal affair. Faces new, well known, and from times long past were present in our throng to enjoy succulent appetizers and Schramsberg Blanc de Noirs as we gathered on the Mezzanine overlooking the elegant Palm […]

Young Chef Competition – November 8, 2008

Our bailliage has had some interesting adventures at Dine-Arounds in restaurants smaller and edgier than the establishments that normally cater to the Chaîne.

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!
