Winter Dinner at Mita’s – February 1, 2026

Chers Confrères:

Attached to this email is the formal invitation to the Chaine’s February event: our Winter Dinner at Mita’s on Sunday, February 1, 2026 at 5:30 PM.  For our first major dinner of 2026 we return to Mita’s downtown where we’ve had many memorable dinners over the years. Owner and Executive Chef Jose Salazar and Mita’s have had many James Beard nominations in recent years and he’s been critically acclaimed as Cincinnati’s finest chef. He recently opened his newest restaurant, Salazar, just across Fifth Street which has quickly become one of the hardest restaurants in town to get a reservation.  Jose has prepared a great menu and our wine committee will meet soon to match each course with just the right wine. Mita’s will be as good as ever so get your reservations in quickly as we have a short window until cutoff.

Guests are welcome to attend but reservations will be limited to 100 so please respond quickly. The deadline to make your reservations is FRIDAY, January 23, 2026. Sorry for the short window!

If you plan to bring guests and/or if you have dietary restrictions please email the names of your guests and/or your dietary request to Ray Vanderhorst at vanderhorst.ray@gmail.com.

Dress for this event is Business Casual with Ribbons. 

Mita’s is located at 501 Race Street. There is valet parking for $10 and paid parking is available in the parking garage above the restaurant in the 84.51 building as well as on the street.

The Chaîne will be able to take your $195 per person payment not only by check, but also by credit card, pay pal or Venmo (preferred) @Chaine-Cincinnati.  For credit card or pay pal I have provided 2 links below which will take you to the payment site depending on whether you are reserving for 2 people or 1.  If you are reserving for 3 just use a combination of the two links.  If paying by check please forward a check made payable to Chaine des Rotisseurs to: Ray Vanderhorst, 1415 Herschel Ave., Cincinnati, OH 45208.

Bailli

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!
