What We’re Looking For

  • Experience in upscale or chef-driven restaurant environments preferred
  • Passion for seasonal cooking, technique, and craftsmanship
  • Strong work ethic with a collaborative mindset
  • Comfort working in a fast-paced, small-footprint kitchen
  • For Sous Chef candidates: prior leadership experience and desire to mentor others
