We are looking for a skilled tournant — a cook of uncommon range — to rotate through all stations in our kitchen. You are the person who makes the line unbreakable. When a station needs you, you are already there: composed, prepared, and precise. This is not a stepping-stone position. It is a craft in itself, and we treat it as one.
- 2+ years of line cook experience in a high-volume or fine dining kitchen
- Strong command of classical technique across multiple stations
- Ability to work in a fast-paced, high-pressure kitchen environment
- Ability to stand for 8–10 hours and lift up to 20 lbs occasionally
- Calm, focused, and reliable under pressure
- Exceptional knife skills and palate development
- Team-first mentality — ego stays at the door
- Food handler's certification (or willingness to obtain)
- Open availability including nights, weekends, and holidays
