Cincinnati Magazine presents Savor Chef’s Table

April 11–14, 2023

6–10 p.m.

Hard Rock Casino Cincinnati, 1000 Broadway

An unforgettable dinner series featuring one-time only menus from two Cincinnati chefs each night.

Join us as Cincinnati Magazine celebrates our city's rich culinary scene with carefully curated courses.

Cincinnati Magazine‘s four-night dinner series returns to celebrate the Queen City’s robust culinary scene. Each night, we pair two celebrated chefs from different restaurants and challenge them to design a five-course meal featuring items not available at their restaurants. Courses are paired with wine and will never be available again. At Savor Chef’s Table, we throw open the kitchen door and invite the chefs to show our guests the final prep and plating of each course for a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience.


Your Ticket Includes

  • A five-course dining experience with thoughtfully selected wine pairings
  • An all-inclusive Cocktail Hour with hors d'oeuvres
  • Live chef demos
  • A signature swag bag
  • Free parking
