Executive Chef - Edge by Goldmoor Inn

The Goldmoor Inn is a charming bed and breakfast that provides the perfect location for a romantic getaway or destination wedding.

With a reputation for outstanding gourmet food and impeccable service, the Inn has a small, fine dining restaurant (55 seats) and a catering facility which can accommodate up to 150 for intimate weddings and other events. The property offers Chef’s Table and Chef’s cooking class. The Chef is provided with a private garden on the estate grounds. This is an exceptional opportunity for a hands-on working Chef who would welcome a unique opportunity to run a creative, scratch kitchen in an exceptionally unique setting. The Chef must enjoy media exposure and guest interaction. Culinary degree required.

Excellent salary and benefits are offered. Accommodations may be available.
