  • Enforce DC Health and food safety standards across all kitchen operations
  • Help coordinate special events, collaboration dinners, and off-site activations
  • Step in for the CDC or Executive Chef in their absence to maintain kitchen continuity
  • Communicate clearly across FOH and BOH to keep service tight and pacing on point
What You Bring
  • 3+ years in a professional kitchen, including 2+ years in a leadership or supervisory role
  • Experience in fine dining; Michelin-starred, tasting-menu, or comparably acclaimed kitchen experience strongly preferred
  • Genuine interest in or familiarity with Latin American culinary traditions and ingredients
  • Formal culinary training or equivalent hands-on experience
  • Strong technical foundation across classic and modern technique
  • Ability to lead a team calmly and effectively under pressure
