Job Details
We’re looking for a pastry cook who is passionate about American classic desserts and excited to bring them to life in a thoughtful, seasonal way.
This role is rooted in strong fundamentals—pies, cakes, cookies, and nostalgic desserts—but with room to evolve. You’ll work closely with ownership and leadership to develop new ideas, contribute to menu changes, and take part in ongoing seasonal programming across the property.
At 5 Acres, pastry is not static. With regular menu shifts, events, chalets, and pop-ups, there is constant opportunity to create, refine, and adapt. We’re looking for someone who is organized, detail-oriented, and takes pride in consistency, while also being motivated to contribute creatively.
This is a hands-on role for someone who values both execution and collaboration, and wants to grow within a dynamic, multi-faceted kitchen.

FIVE ACRES
Chef Greg Baxtrom, known for his acclaimed Brooklyn restaurants Olmsted, Maison Yaki, and Patti Ann’s, opened 5 Acres in Midtown Manhattan in Fall 2022. Located in the heart of New York’s iconic Rockefeller Center, 5 Acres brings Baxtrom’s approach to American food with a Midwestern perspective to Manhattan.
The restaurant reflects Greg’s deeply personal connection to the land and his Midwestern roots. Every element of 5 Acres — from the intimate private dining room built with wood from his family’s farm to the airy dining room filled with vibrant greenery and natural textures — draws inspiration from the five-acre farm outside of Chicago where Greg grew up.
Since opening in November 2022, 5 Acres has served breakfast, lunch, and dinner, while also hosting private events and gatherings in its dedicated private dining space.
