Dine Around at Bistro Grace in Northside – February 11, 2018

On a cold, blustery February 11th evening, the Cincinnati Bailliage held a dine around event at Bistro Grace Restaurant in a growing urban suburb of the city. This trendy eatery is located on a busy highway in the revitalized neighborhood of Northside, known for renovated turn of the century houses and innovative restaurants.

Chef David Bever specializes in traditional dishes with a modern twist that keep both locals and foodies from all over the city coming back for more. He credits his success to being able to hone his skills under esteemed chefs such as Jean-Robert de Cavel and Todd Kelly. This unassuming establishment has received praise not only from local Cincinnatians but from national and international organizations such as Wine Spectator.

Members brought one bottle of exceptional wine per person to share with other members throughout the evening. The wine was placed on a centrally located bar and shared throughout the evening. The event started with passed appetizers including smoked salmon tarts, pork belly egg flans, and roasted cauliflower flans. Once seated, members were treated to an exquisite four-course dinner including a braised duck leg cassoulet and a spice dusted strip steak.

Members and their guests enjoyed pairing various wines with the well-crafted dishes throughout the evening while peering out of the restaurant at the bustling city landscape. Following dinner, Bailli George Elliott, along with everyone present gave the highest praise to Vice Chargée de Mission Carmen Parks for conspiring with Chef Bever to create an evening to remember.

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!
