Khora Comes to Cincinnati
Tapping seasonal, locally sourced ingredients, Khora introduces a modern Midwest spin on New American cuisine. Our grain-focused menu draws inspiration from Italy while telling a story of community and connection unique to the area.
Wagyu beef from Ohio cattle pastures, oyster mushrooms from a Kentucky farm, organic heritage grains milled just for us on a local family farm - the result is a “taste of place” unique to the region.

Meet the chef
Jared Bennett
Born and raised in Athens, Ohio, Bennett originally planned to attend Ohio University for a degree in secondary education. “I was going to be a history or geography teacher, but it didn’t work out that way,” he says. Instead, he pursued and received a degree in hotel and restaurant management, then followed up with a culinary degree from Hocking College.
Bennett formed his culinary identity first in California and later in Cincinnati, where he worked in the kitchens of Daveed’s, Nectar and Metropole before joining Khora in late 2021.
