FROM THE BAILLI
Brewster Ellis




Welcome to the Kansas City Chapter of La Chaine des Rotisseurs. The fact that we are the oldest international wine and food society in the world, founded in France in 1248, says much about our heritage. What it does not tell you is that the Kansas City Chapter is devoted to promoting fine dining and preserving the camaraderie and pleasures of the table. We are committed to satisfying the tastes of our members with exquisite food and first class wines while tempting their curiosity with new cuisine and beverages, with tastings from around the world and around the area. We also strive for an active interrelation between amateurs and professionals who share a love of fine food and wine. It is inspiring to see what insights and inspirations this interaction can create. There are no limits that some of our members will go to test the palates and push the boundaries of fun and education.

Our membership consists of professionals, legislators, chefs, restaurateurs, winemakers; the young and not so young; people with well stocked cellars and people with a desire to someday have a well stocked cellar. We support those who are accomplished in their culinary skills and those that aspire to be. We encourage, through our varied events, all to participate in the venue and the theme; to make camaraderie a focal point of our wonderful organization.

La Chaine offers the opportunity to meet people who share a common interest in exploring and learning about fine food and fine wine, and having fun doing so. In addition to La Chaine, there is also a society within the society that is focused on crafted beverages and spirits. It is called L’Ordre Mondial des Gourmets Degustateurs, which is a fancy way of describing a group that enjoys learning about all sorts of crafted beverages, their origins, their variety and what foods they can go with.

There are many other facets to La Chaine that you may wish to explore. Come join us at one of our many functions. See for yourself what a great group of people with a shared interest to learn about food and wine can do and how much fun they have doing it. Feel free to contact me or anyone of the officers. We will gladly answer your questions. Prepare yourself to be caught up in our gastronomic whirlwind of delight.

Vive La Chaine!
