Promoting Young Culinary Talent (March 31, 2016)

Members of our Cincinnati chapter met with officials from the Midwest Culinary Institute at Cincinnati State to present them with a check for $6,000. This money will go into the Irwin and Barbara Weinberg Culinary Scholarship Fund to be used for the benefit of students attending the school.

The contribution included 38 individual checks from local chapter members, 1 check from the Chaîne Foundation, 1 check from the Cincinnati chapter of the Société Mondiale du Vin, and 2 checks from the Cincinnati Chaîne chapter.

Bailli George presented the contribution to Cincinnati State Interim President Dr. Monica Posey with Chaîne and MCI officials in attendance. Chambellan Provincial Irwin and Barbara Weinberg, longtime supporters of the MCI and the culinary arts, were present to accept the check for their fund.

This is the eighth year of a close partnership between our local chapter and the MCI in which we have provided annual contributions totaling $39,000 to assist deserving students in the pursuit of the culinary arts.

Chargé de Missions Clint Haynes has worked closely with Chef Rôtisseur and MCI Instructor Alan Neace to form a bridge between these two organizations that has contributed greatly to the culinary scene in Cincinnati.

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!
