Chaîne Fall Dinner at Brown Dog Café – September 15, 2019

On a gorgeous September 15th, the Cincinnati Bailliage held its annual fall dinner at the Brown Dog Cafe located in beautiful Summit Park. The park was built on the grounds of a previous airport and was a perfect backdrop for the event.

Members were greeted, given glasses of champagne, and ushered to an outdoor patio with tables covered by brightly colored umbrellas. Appetizers were passed and enjoyed while gazing out at the stunning family-friendly green space. Members then returned to the restaurant in preparation for a sumptuous six course dinner prepared by chef /owner Shawn McCoy. For the last 16 years, Mr. McCoy has skillfully guided the restaurant from a small strip mall to its present location, while always maintaining exquisite cuisine that is not pretentious.

Once seated, guests were announced by Bailli George Elliott and members of the board were introduced. The elegant dinner, which was masterfully orchestrated by Chef McCoy and Vice Conseiller Gastronomique Chuck Hong, was served by a well-coordinated wait staff. Courses were perfectly paired with wines selected by Vice Echanson Provincial Mary Horn and her wine committee. Highlights of the dinner included grilled Kentucky paddlefish paired with a Hartford Court chardonnay and smoked Indiana duck breast paired with Xavier Vignon Arcane Le Pape Chateauneuf-du-Pape.

The event was a perfect way to say farewell to summer and welcome the onset of a fall season of activities. It is little wonder that Chef McCoy and his staff will remain a bailliage favorite.

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.
