Experienced Line Cook

Harvest Land, Sea & Vine | Knoxville, TN

Harvest Land, Sea & Vine is looking for an experienced line cook to join our kitchen team.

We’re not looking for someone who simply needs a restaurant job. We’re looking for a cook who genuinely enjoys this business — someone who takes pride in a clean station, sharp knives, proper technique, beautiful plates, and getting absolutely buried on a Saturday night without letting their standards slip.

Harvest is a chef-driven, seasonal restaurant built around quality ingredients and cooking from scratch. Our menu changes with the seasons, and our kitchen works with everything from fresh seafood and prime cuts to house-made sauces, pastas, vegetables, and locally sourced ingredients. This is a kitchen where you can continue learning, contribute ideas, and actually care about the food you put in the window.

Who We’re Looking For

You should have professional line-cooking experience and be comfortable working a busy service. More importantly, we’re looking for someone who:

• Takes their craft seriously without taking themselves too seriously
• Shows up on time, prepared, and ready to work
• Keeps a clean, organized station
• Understands proper cooking techniques and seasoning
• Can communicate and work as part of a team
• Handles pressure without creating drama
• Takes feedback well and wants to keep getting better
• Cares what leaves the kitchen
• Wants to work alongside other people who care just as much

Why Harvest?

We believe a good kitchen job should be more than surviving another shift.

At Harvest, you’ll work with quality products, a constantly evolving menu, and a team that actually cares about cooking. You’ll have opportunities to learn new techniques, work with seasonal ingredients, contribute creatively, and grow within the kitchen.

We work hard and expect a lot from each other, but we also believe in treating good people like good people. We want cooks who are proud to tell someone where they work.

If you’re tired of kitchens where nobody cares, where standards don’t matter, or where you’re doing the exact same thing every night, Harvest might be the kitchen you’ve been looking for.

What We Offer

• Competitive pay based on experience
• Consistent hours
• A professional, chef-driven kitchen
• High-quality ingredients and scratch cooking
• Seasonal menus and opportunities to learn
• Room to grow and take on more responsibility
• A team-oriented environment
• A restaurant with high standards and a strong local reputation

Experience is required. Attitude, reliability, and pride in your work matter just as much.

If you know your way around a line, care about the details, and want to cook somewhere that gives a damn about the food, we’d like to meet you.

Apply through Indeed with your experience and availability.
