Job Details
John and Karen Shields' The Loyalist is expanding its back-of-house team. We're looking for an experienced line cook for a full time position. Duties include daily ownership over the preparation and ordering of your station's ingredients. Our cooks work a variety of stations, learning the techniques going into different components of each dish, under the mentorship of John Shields & Executive Chef Brian Francis.

The Loyalist menu introduces French technique to a dynamic neighborhood restaurant that also happens to serve one of the best burgers in the US. While we are well-known for our cheeseburger, the menu is intricate and very seasonal, following the same philosophy as our three-Michelin-star sister restaurant. Our 80-seat dining room serves 200-250 guests in a service, so understanding of organization and time management is key. This is a dynamic environment, so flexibility and a positive attitude are necessary to be successful in this position.

Hourly rate with service charges will range from $20-22/hour. Company-subsidized health insurance is available to all full-time employees after 30 days of employment. This position is roughly 45 hours per week, with 401k program eligibility after one year.

Part of SMYTH // THE LOYALIST

At this dual-concept West Loop kitchen, chef–power couple John Shields and Karen Urie Shields (ex Charlie Trotter’s) serve creative New American fare in two distinct settings and formats. The more casual The Loyalist features seasonal plates and craft cocktails in lounge surrounds on the lower level, while the upscale Smyth takes a fine-dining approach with adventurous tasting menus upstairs.
