RELOCATION OPPORTUNITY – FAIRHOPE, ALABAMA (GULF COAST)
Sous Chef | Farm-to-Table | James Beard–Recognized Restaurant
Are you a driven culinary leader ready to take the next step in a high-level, chef-driven kitchen? Join a James Beard–nominated, farm-to-table concept on Alabama’s beautiful Gulf Coast. This is your chance to work alongside an award-winning culinary team that values creativity, seasonality, and elevated Southern cuisine—while living in one of the most charming coastal communities in the region.
We’re looking for a passionate Sous Chef who thrives in a scratch kitchen, leads from the front, and is excited to help shape a dynamic, evolving menu rooted in quality and innovation.
What You’ll Get:
- Competitive base salary + bonus eligibility
- Employer-paid healthcare, dental & vision
- Relocation assistance to Fairhope, AL
- Paid vacation
- Work with a recognized, award-winning culinary team
- Opportunity for career growth and advancement
What We’re Looking For:
- 2–3+ years of experience as a Sous Chef or Chef de Cuisine in a fine dining or upscale scratch kitchen
- Strong knowledge of menu costing, recipe development, and labor management
- Experience with pasta and pizza production (highly preferred)
- Proven ability to lead, mentor, and develop kitchen teams
- Hands-on leadership style with a “lead by example” mentality
- Strong financial and operational awareness (food cost, labor control, inventory)
- A creative, detail-oriented mindset with a passion for excellence
Why This Role Stands Out:
This isn’t just another Sous Chef role—it’s a chance to be part of a culinary destination restaurant where your ideas matter. You’ll collaborate directly with leadership, contribute to menu innovation, and help elevate a concept that’s already gaining national recognition.
If you're ready to grow your career in a high-impact role while enjoying the lifestyle of the Gulf Coast, we want to hear from you.
