Are you a culinary wizard who thrives under pressure, lives for the sizzle of the sauté pan, and dreams in plating designs? Good news — we’re on the hunt for a Sous Chef Extraordinaire to join our kitchen dream team!
About Us:
We’re PJ CLARKE’S — a fast-paced, flavor-packed, vibes-only kind of place. Think seasonal menus, bold ideas, and zero tolerance for bland food or boring shifts. We’re serious about our food, but we laugh a lot. (Mostly at our head chef’s dad jokes.)
Your Mission (should you choose to accept it):

You Are:
• A kitchen Jedi with 4+ years’ experience as a sous chef (or serious line cook cred)
• Cool under pressure (even when the fryer goes down)
• Organized, energetic, and obsessed with food
• A team player who knows a sharp knife and a sharp wit go hand in hand
Bonus points if you:
• Can quote Gordon Ramsay and Bob’s Burgers
• Have a signature dish that could win a street food showdown
• Know how to make staff meals that don’t suck
Perks Include:
