Our new Executive Chef, Chef Mark Bodenstein gets a lot of questions from “at home” cooks in Cincinnati. We asked Mark to give us the five items that every at home cook (from the beginners to the experienced) should have in their kitchen.

Billy Elliot is playing the Aronoff Center through January 29th  and CCM alumni, Thad Turner Wilson is thrilled to be back in Cincinnati performing on the Aronoff Center Stage in a national touring Broadway production.  A native of Birmingham Alabama, Thad earned his BFA from UC’s College Conservatory  of Music.  He has performed in the Radio City Christmas Spectacular and several regional and touring productions.

Making craft cocktails involves more than just following a recipe, it’s an art form. Joey Fredrickson, our cocktail guru and an essential part of our beverage program has it down to a science. It takes a lot of time, passion and knowledge!

Joey is the mastermind behind our brunch cocktail menu, our Aronoff show themed menus and our holiday specialty drinks. We like to call him our very own “Sir-Mix-A Lot.”

Making a trip to Findlay Market for an ingredient or getting to work early to create a fresh puree or infused liquor is part of the everyday routine for Joey.

If you’ve heard the buzz around town that we are going to start serving brunch, it’s true. Starting this Sunday, November 13th we are unveiling our new brunch menu. Our brunch menu will be available Saturdays and Sundays from 11:00am – 4:00pm.

Why now? Nicholson’s has been downtown for 14 years. We are excited about everything that is happening around us. Right now Downtown Cincinnati is thriving and there just aren’t a lot of brunch options available.  We think now is the perfect time to open for brunch.
