Changing of the guard
The Dilly Deli has had a change in the kitchen.
After four and a half years of service, Chef Richard Hargy is no longer preparing meals with the Dilly Deli. But owners Robbie and Chuck Warinner are telling people to fear not because the new chef has made a seamless transition into the kitchen and continues to create tasty dishes.
Sous Chef Eric Vice, who has been working alongside Chef Richard for almost a year, has been promoted to Chef.
"Many former customers of OuterBanks Seafood Market remember Eric as the helpful and knowledgeable 'fish guy' at the Mariemont and Pleasant Ridge OuterBanks locations, but his restaurant experience precedes that," according to the owners. "He was Sous Chef at Ciao Baby in Harpers Point under Chef Tom Milliken (also former OuterBanks 'fish guy', now Chef at Polo Grille). We feel very fortunate to have him on our team."
In other news, the annual Cincinnati International Wine Festival begins in six weeks (March 24 and 25) and the Dilly Deli has tickets to the huge Grand Tastings that take place on Friday night, Saturday afternoon, and Saturday night at the newly expanded and refurbished Cinergy Convention Center downtown.
Tickets to the evening tastings are $65 each, while Saturday afternoon's are $50 each. The Wine Festival has grown to benefit a host of worthy local causes, and a portion of each ticket cost is tax deductible.
The Dilly Deli also has brochures for all the festival events, including the dinners and seminars.
