Line/Prep Cook

Description

Heirloom Restaurant Group is a restaurant brand management company with more than 10 brands and continually growing. We are a collection of individuals who care and work together each day to create meaningful experiences.

We do not believe it is unusual to have life changing experiences while breaking bread with others and we have made it our mission to see that it happens much more regularly. We recognize we come from our local community and thus are ultimately responsible to our friends, families, neighbors and associates. We take this seriously. We focus our time and energy on finding those who share our values and creating partnerships that are mutually beneficial. Ours is not the job to fiddle with the bounty that our farmers and producers bring to us but rather to allow its inherent beauty to shine through. Doing so in spaces that are comfortable and nurturing sets the stage for those meaningful experiences to happen. We cook food, we run restaurants and we love what we do.
