Cookshop , a long-standing neighborhood favorite committed to seasonal and locally produced food, is looking for an ambitious, hard-working, and passionate  Executive Sous Chef . 

Cookshop is an urban restaurant that draws energy and vitality from its commitment to honoring the seasons and using the products of regional farming. We serve lunch, dinner and brunch.

Cookshop is part of The Bowery Group, responsible for neighborhood favorites Rosie’s, Shuka, Shukette and Vic’s. The Bowery Group is proud to list accolades such as James Beard Nominee for Outstanding Restaurateur 2022, Best Chef Greater New York 2022, New York’s Top 10 New Restaurants of 2021 in the New York Times, as well as multiple write ups of our restaurants in various publications.

We firmly believe, with limited exceptions, that it is impossible to define American Cuisine. There are so many ethnic, cultural and regional influences that contribute to the variety of what we as Americans choose for our daily meals.

The health of regional agriculture is the driving force for cuisine--the driving force that supports a sustainable relationship with the land; supporting the economic viability of communities, schools and related businesses.

Cookshop has been and continues to be a vital element in this equation.  So, when we talk of seasonal and local it is more than a passing fancy that sounds good on a menu.  It supports our birthright as a varied people standing in contrast to the effects of industrial food production, which disregard the health of our bodies and our land.

The  Executive Sous Chef   should have solid leadership skills, a highly developed sense of urgency, and the ability to work well under pressure while managing others. The successful candidate will be a responsible team player with strong communication and interpersonal skills. The  ESC  is expected to effectively handle multiple tasks in a composed, friendly and hospitable manner and have the speed and skill to manage the fast-pace of our restaurant .

Benefits we offer :

• Paid Time Off
• Transit Benefits
• Dining Discounts
• Shared Medical Plan
• Soul Cycle Classes
• Citi Bike Membership
• Professional Career Development

This position requires daytime hours, evening hours and weekends with  FULL TIME AVAILABILITY.
