The Role: Line Cook Evenings | Craft, Crunch, & Chaos

We are a kitchen of two worlds. On one hand, we have a literal cult following for our Fired Chicken. We have regulars who have tattooed our sandwich on their bodies just to secure a Gold Member card for life. When the lunch rush hits, it’s high‑octane, high‑volume, and legendary.

On the other hand, we are a disciplined scratch kitchen. We don't do "frozen." We work with farmers, obsess over the snap of a fresh radish, and rewrite our menu every single season to highlight what’s actually growing in the dirt right now.

We need a Counter staff who can speak both languages: the "hype" of the perfect sammie and the "craft" of a seasonal harvest.

Why this isn't your average job:

The Seasonal Evolution: Every three months, the game changes. You’ll be trained on new ingredients, new flavor profiles, and new stories. You’ll never be bored because the menu never stays the same.

Farm-to-Counter: Why we use the amazing products we do.

The Gold Member Vibe: You’ll be the one welcoming our tattooed superfans. You’re joining a brand with a soul, a personality, and a massive local reputation.

Your Daily Hustle:

Preparing & prepping:

Firing up for the evening: chicken, veggies, soups & more.

Who You Are:

Strong understanding of sanitation & food safety. Fast, not-so furious & clean.

Ability to manage a fast paced lunch/dinner including efficient time management & multitasking.

Physical stamina & ability to work early evening hours.

Skilled in pretty food.

And most of all a palette!

The Goods

• Real Money: Competitive base pay & training.
• Culinary Education: Learn the "why" behind scratch cooking and seasonal sourcing.
• The Shift Meal: Whether it’s the cult‑classic chicken or a fresh seasonal bowl, you’re eating the best food in the city.
• No Corporate Scripts: We want your personality, your ink, and your authentic self.
