Prep Cook

At True Food Kitchen we pride ourselves on serving great food! This means that we rely on our prep cooks to consistently and efficiently prepare and portion our food products, beautifully plate and garnish dishes, and ensure that our food is ready to be served to our guests consistently and efficiently. It is the prep cook's responsibility to accurately and efficiently prepare and portion food products prior to service. The prep cook will also perform other duties in the areas of food and final plate preparation including plating and garnishing of cooked items as necessary. Many items on our menu are seasonal which gives our prep cooks a variety of recipes to prepare as we rotate throughout the year.
