We are looking for passionate chefs with drive, positive attitude and willingness to learn to join our team. We work with the best products that we can possibly source from our local farmers, ranchers and fisheries to showcase the product's potential. We are a scratch kitchen, butchering all our own proteins in house, sourcing whole pasture raised pigs, ducks, pheasant's and whole fish; breaking them down for charcuterie and sausages and primal cuts for the menu. We cook honest food, while most importantly having fun in what we do! This is a great opportunity for a thriving young chef to join our small team!
