We continue to look for talented, highly passionate, experienced and motivated Chefs to recruit into our family.

A qualified Executive Sous Chef candidate must possess 1 year of experience in a Senior Sous Chef role in a chef driven/fine dining restaurant.

There are opportunities for future advancement and the perfect candidate would be the individual completely open to guidance while still chomping at the bit to earn more.
