Chef/Cook-Kitchen Help

PART-TIME

CHEF / KITCHEN POSITION
Located in Kernersville

We’re a craft cocktail bar with an elevated kitchen menu, looking for a dependable, experienced chef to run our small kitchen. Our food goes beyond typical bar fare, with thoughtfully prepared small plates, gourmet flatbreads, handhelds and a featured entrée. We do not have fryers.
