Holiday Dinner at Mita’s – December 9, 2018


The Cincinnati Bailliage held its traditional holiday dinner at Mita’s Restaurant in downtown Cincinnati on December 9, 2018. Mita’s specializes in eclectic, farm inspired cuisine from Spain and Latin America. This is the second downtown restaurant for Chef/Owner Jose Salazar and it has been wildly successful from the start.

Chef Salazar was born in Columbia, raised in Queens, New York, and trained under legendary chefs Georges Vongerichten and Thomas Keller. He has been in Cincinnati since 2008 and was named as one of Food and Wine’s Best New Chef’s in 2011. Mita’s has an upscale, relaxed atmosphere with large picture windows that look out onto the bustling downtown Cincinnati scene.

Prior to Chef Salazar’s outstanding five-course dinner, Bailli George Elliott honored Vice Echanson Honoraire Michael Monnin with the coveted Bronze Medal of Excellence. Mr. Monnin joined the Chaîne in 2008 and has been the bailliage’s guiding light in all things related to wine. Mr. Monnin recently retired from his position as Vice President and General manager of Heidelberg Distributing in Northern Kentucky and continues to serve on the Cincinnati bailliage’s Board.

Chef Salazar exquisitely engineered each course throughout the evening which included Flounder Crudo, Celery Root Soup, and Lobster Tail with Cabbage and Beets. The Mita’s event was masterfully coordinated by Vice Conseiller Gastronomique Chuck Hong with excellent wine pairings from Vice Echanson Mary Horn, Vice Echanson Honoraire Mike Monnin and their wine committee.

When the evening concluded, choruses of praise were heaped on Chef Salazar and his staff.

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!
