EXECUTIVE CHEF

Creative | Hands-On

Salary Range: $100,000–$110,000

This is not a clipboard chef role.

This is a working Executive Chef position for a leader who lives on the line, cooks with intention, and thrives in a fast-paced, high-volume, creativity-driven kitchen.

We’re seeking a passionate, highly creative Executive Chef to lead an energetic Mediterranean concept where bold flavors, seasonality, and authenticity come first. There is real menu freedom here — but it’s earned through execution, consistency, and leadership.

If you believe simple, rustic, soulful food takes just as much (if not more) talent than over-styled plates… keep reading.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Lead from the front — this is a hands-on cooking role
• Create, evolve, and execute a seasonal Mediterranean-inspired menu
• Cook different, exciting, and delicious food every day
• Plan and direct all food preparation and kitchen operations
• Manage food & labor costs, inventory, ordering, and waste control
• Recruit, train, develop, and inspire a high-performing kitchen team
• Hold uncompromising standards for food quality, cleanliness, and hospitality
• Maintain strong relationships with farmers, fishers, foragers, and purveyors
• Handle volume and pressure with confidence, calm, and finesse
• Put the final touch on every plate that leaves the kitchen
• Ensure compliance with health, safety, and sanitation standards
  
  

What We’re Looking For

• A true working chef — no clipboard chefs
• Deep passion for food, wine, and guest experience
• Proven leadership and kitchen management experience
• Strong understanding of Mediterranean flavors, techniques, and ingredients
• Ability to balance creativity with operational discipline
• Confident decision-maker who can problem-solve in real time
• Calm, professional, and humble leadership style
• High energy, high standards, and thick skin
• Thrives in busy, close-quarter kitchens
• Comfortable with admin duties, costing, and kitchen systems
  
  

The Environment

• Creative, energetic, Mediterranean-inspired kitchen
• High standards, high volume, high expectations
• Menu freedom with accountability
• Passionately, intensely, uncompromisingly humble hospitality
• Food quality always comes first
  
  

Physical Requirements

• Prolonged standing, bending, lifting (up to 45 lbs), repetitive motion
• Fast-paced, demanding kitchen environment
  
  

If you’re a chef who wants to cook, lead from the line, push creativity, and build something special — this is the opportunity.

Serious, hands-on chefs only.
