Executive Chef

Full-time

METEORA

Meteora is a destination for discovery, storytelling, and elemental cooking from two-Michelin-starred Chef Jordan Kahn. More than a restaurant, Meteora is an immersive culinary experience shaped by fire, seasonality, and the deep relationship between nature, craft, and hospitality.

We are seeking passionate culinary leaders at the Executive Chef, Chef de Cuisine, and Executive Sous Chef levels to join our team and help guide the continued evolution of this ambitious and highly creative kitchen.

This is a rare opportunity to work within a collaborative, research-driven environment focused on ingredient integrity, open-fire technique, and a deeply unified team culture.

About Meteora

Meteora is a holistic culinary concept rooted in gastronomy, hospitality, art, design, and sound. The cuisine combines ancient, primordial cooking methods with modern technique, centered around meticulously sourced ingredients prepared over live fire and expressed through their elemental forms — leaf, root, stem, seed, shell, flesh, and bone.

Our tasting menu evolves constantly, guided by seasonality, research, and a commitment to creating meaningful guest experiences.

Key Responsibilities 

  • Lead and execute daily kitchen operations with consistency and excellence

  • Maintain the highest standards for ingredient handling, fire cookery, and plating

  • Support menu development, seasonal transitions, and R&D initiatives

  • Train, mentor, and develop culinary staff

  • Uphold sanitation, safety, and organizational systems

  • Collaborate closely with Chef Jordan Kahn and leadership team

  • Ensure a cohesive, calm, and focused kitchen environment

Qualifications

  • Leadership experience in a Michelin-level or equivalent fine dining environment

  • Strong technical foundation and deep respect for ingredients

  • Comfort working with live fire, tasting menus, and evolving menus

  • Exceptional organizational and communication skills

  • Passion for collaborative kitchens and continual learning

  • Calm, solutions-focused leadership style

Why Join Meteora

  • Work within one of Los Angeles’ most ambitious culinary programs

  • Be part of a deeply creative and research-driven environment

  • Collaborate with a team committed to excellence and innovation

  • Opportunity for long-term growth within the Vespertine Group
