Printed Menus/Layout
Printed menus should be provided whenever possible. They convey information about the event, provide a written record for the Bailliage and attending guests. They set the Chaîne events apart from those of other organizations. The following should be included in every Chaîne menu:

  • Full name of the organization, Confrérie de la Chaîne des Rôtisseurs,
    Bailliage des Etats-Unis

  • Name of the local Bailliage

  • Date

  • Name of the host establishment

  • Complete menu (an English translation if menu is in a foreign language)

  • Complete listing of wines served, including vintages and notes

  • Important host establishment personnel (at least the Chef)

If possible, the following should also be included:

  • The Chaîne Seal

  • Rules of the Chaîne

  • Names of the Bailli Delegué and Regional Bailli (whether present or not)

  • National Officers in attendance

  • Local Officers (whether present or not)

  • All in attendance, including guests of honor

  • Inductees or Members being elevated (if applicable)

Information about the food and wines served, and/or about the event theme is optional. Take advantage of the many options available to achieve originality and diversity in your printed menus. For example, you may have a member who is good at original design and will create covers for your menus. Alternately, reproduce art that is in the public domain (you can safely assume that anything published seventy-five years ago or more is now in the public domain) on the cover. The host establishment sometimes has covers they would be pleased to supply. Also, formal cream-colored covers as well as less formal blue covers embossed with the Chaîne logo may be ordered from the National Administrative Office.
