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. Arriving into the central hall we teed up with Bollinger Champagne and an array of sumptuous hors d’œuvres. An “albatross” among […]

Dinner at Midwest Culinary Institute – March 17, 2007

While St. Patrick’s Day usually brings to mind green beer, bangers and mash, our bailliage had a higher calling as we met at the Midwest Culinary Institute to dine in the Summit restaurant. MCI opened new state of the art facilities in late 2005 and has been showcasing special events to preferred patrons. Selected students […]

Holiday Dinner at The Palace – December 10, 2006

December brings chilling winds and blustery weather but also time for seasonal celebrations such as our annual holiday gala, held at The Palace restaurant within the historic Cincinnatian Hotel. Originally built in 1882 and completely renovated in 1987 at a cost of $25 million, this elegant locale has received high praise from the likes of […]

Holiday Dinner at Netherland Plaza – December 4, 2005

The holiday season is cause for great festivity and our Bailliage elected to meet at the grand venue of historic Netherland Plaza. This architectural masterpiece was built concurrently with the Empire State Building by the same constructors in 1930 and in recent times had much of the original Art Deco facade and fabric restored to […]

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!
