Executive Sous Chef

RELOCATION OPPORTUNITY – FAIRHOPE, ALABAMA (GULF COAST)

Sous Chef | Farm-to-Table | James Beard–Recognized Restaurant

Are you a driven culinary leader ready to take the next step in a high-level, chef-driven kitchen? Join a James Beard–nominated, farm-to-table concept on Alabama’s beautiful Gulf Coast. This is your chance to work alongside an award-winning culinary team that values creativity, seasonality, and elevated Southern cuisine—while living in one of the most charming coastal communities in the region.

We’re looking for a passionate Sous Chef who thrives in a scratch kitchen, leads from the front, and is excited to help shape a dynamic, evolving menu rooted in quality and innovation.

What You’ll Get:

• Competitive base salary + bonus eligibility
• Employer-paid healthcare, dental & vision
• Relocation assistance to Fairhope, AL
• Paid vacation
• Work with a recognized, award-winning culinary team
• Opportunity for career growth and advancement

What We’re Looking For:

• 2–3+ years of experience as a Sous Chef or Chef de Cuisine in a fine dining or upscale scratch kitchen
• Strong knowledge of menu costing, recipe development, and labor management
• Experience with pasta and pizza production (highly preferred)
• Proven ability to lead, mentor, and develop kitchen teams
• Hands-on leadership style with a “lead by example” mentality
• Strong financial and operational awareness (food cost, labor control, inventory)
• A creative, detail-oriented mindset with a passion for excellence

Why This Role Stands Out:

This isn’t just another Sous Chef role—it’s a chance to be part of a culinary destination restaurant where your ideas matter. You’ll collaborate directly with leadership, contribute to menu innovation, and help elevate a concept that’s already gaining national recognition.

If you're ready to grow your career in a high-impact role while enjoying the lifestyle of the Gulf Coast, we want to hear from you.
