Media Advisory
1 Night, 12 Kitchens: Stage is set for an unforgettable culinary
experience to benefit students on April 26
Cincinnati State’s Midwest Culinary Institute will host its 11th annual “1 Night, 12 Kitchens” on Sunday,
April 26.
1 Night, 12 Kitchens is a signature culinary event with an educational purpose: to raise scholarship funds
for students at the Midwest Culinary Institute.
This marks the 11th year in a row that Greater Cincinnati’s top chefs will gather at the MCI’s 12 teaching
kitchens to prepare appetizers, entrée dishes, salads and desserts. Guests will have the opportunity to
tour the food preparation areas and chat with the chefs and Cincinnati State students, then head out to
the serving stations to sample the food and wine that will be on offer.
The event will open to “Top Chef Patron” premium ticket holders at 5 p.m., and to those with general
admission at 6 p.m. It will conclude at 9 p.m. A silent auction will run from 5 p.m. – 8:45 p.m. This year’s
event will also include a live auction, featuring a dream kitchen appliance set of stove, refrigerator and
dishwasher provided by Custom Distributors.
Sponsors for the 2015 1 Night, 12 Kitchens this year include Sysco Cincinnati, Cincinnati Magazine,
Horseshoe Cincinnati, Custom Distributors, RSVP Upscale Offers, Anthem, Cincinnati Bell, PNC Bank,

Since its inception in 2005, 1 Night, 12 Kitchens has raised nearly $600,000 for scholarships. During that
period more than 1,000 students have graduated from Cincinnati State’s hospitality programs, and many
have benefitted from scholarships made possible through 1 Night, 12 Kitchens.
