L’Auberge hires new executive chef
L’Auberge has hired a new executive chef: Jared Whalen, a native of Hamilton who worked most recently at Chalk Food & Wine in Cincinnati.
Whalen is a graduate of The New England Culinary Institute and has worked at The Boulders in Scottsdale Arizona; the now-defunct Maisonette in Cincinnati; Jean Robert at Pigall’s; and Pho Paris before joining Chalk Food & Wine, where he has worked for the last 18 months, according to l’Auberge General Manager and Sommelier Brian DeMarke.
“Over the coming weeks, L’Auberge and Chef Whalen will begin unveiling new menus and ideas for the culinary future of L’Auberge,” DeMarke said.
Whalen replaces Romuald Jung, who parted ways with the restaurant last month.

TweetRibbon -cutting today for new downtown Dayton restaurant
The new downtown Dayton deli that we told you about last month — Carmen’s Deli in the Fifth Third Building — will celebrate its grand opening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 4 p.m. today, Aug. 17, according to the Downtown Dayton Partnership.
The new deli’s address is 110 N. Main Street, Suite 90, although the entrance and the deli itself face Second Street in the Fifth Third Center, across from from the Kettering Tower.
Plans call for a ribbon cutting and official remarks at 4 p.m., to be followed by hors d’oeuvres, partnership officials said.
The new restaurant is owned by Haitham Imam and his wife Carmen, for whom the deli is named. Haitham Imam previously served in food-service management at Sinclair Community College and at area health-care facilities.
Carmen’s will be open for breakfast and lunch Monday through Friday. Its phone number is (937) 610-9999.
