Culinary Lab & Chef-Led Event Space
A genuine commercial kitchen inside a private business club — and Mason's only official Zink Culinary Center. Culinary experiences are arranged with our culinary team.
The real thing. Not a staged set.
Ohio Risk Level III licensed commercial kitchen, chef-grade equipment, and a U-shaped tasting counter for 20 — purpose-built for chef-led events, demos, and private dining.
One kitchen. Many possibilities.
The Culinary Lab is a genuine commercial kitchen — gas range, walk-in cooler, stainless prep stations, High-Temp Dishmachine, ice machine, dry storage — inside a 25,000+ sq ft private business club. Not a retrofitted home kitchen with a commercial label. The real thing. Chefs use it for menu development and R&D, and select culinary partners work here by arrangement. Companies host private chef dinners, corporate tastings, and hands-on cooking experiences for their teams. The kitchen is steps away from the C-Suite bourbon locker room and the Taproom — making it the natural foundation for events that start with a meal and end with a pour.
Culinary Partners
Chefs and established culinary partners work with our culinary team by arrangement, and kitchen support for your event caterer can be arranged.
Menu Development & R&D
Test new recipes, refine plating, photograph dishes, and iterate without tying up your restaurant's kitchen during service. Commercial equipment, consistent environment, no interruptions.
Corporate Tasting Events
Host intimate client tastings, wine-and-food pairings, or product launch dinners prepared on-site. Plate in the kitchen, serve steps away in the C-Suite Lounge or Revel Room. White-glove, zero logistics.
Cooking Classes & Team Building
Chef-led, hands-on cooking experiences for corporate teams and private groups. The kitchen accommodates groups, and the Taproom is right downstairs for post-class drinks.
Private Chef Dinners
Prepare multi-course meals for intimate groups of 10–40 in a setting that feels like a private club — because it is. Full kitchen, elegant service areas, bourbon lockers and a Taproom for after-dinner drinks.
Food Photography & Content
A clean, well-lit commercial kitchen with professional finishes — available by arrangement for recipe content, brand photography, or video production. Natural light available, modern aesthetic throughout.
The Culinary Lab is an official Zink Foodservice Group culinary center — one of nine locations across the Midwest where the industry's best commercial kitchen equipment is showcased and evaluated. The kitchen, tabletop, and furniture throughout Revelance were all specified and supplied by Zink, a 40-year regional leader representing the top manufacturers in foodservice. The equipment you cook on here is the same equipment the best restaurants and hotels are buying.
