Michelin starred Chef Christophe Bellanca is seeking an experienced, disciplined, and highly organized Executive Chef de Cuisine to lead the daily operations of Essential by Christophe, our Michelin-starred kitchen.

This role is designed for a true kitchen leader who is committed to preserving and executing Chef Christophe Bellanca’s standards, philosophy, and culinary identity at the highest level.

We are looking for a leader who can both execute and manage -- a chef who thrives in service, leads by example, holds the team accountable, & understands the level of consistency required to maintain and grow a Michelin-starred restaurant.

This is not a “clipboard chef” position. The ideal candidate must be equally comfortable expediting service, building sauces, coaching cooks, managing prep systems, documenting performance issues, processing payroll, and maintaining operational excellence across all areas of the BOH.
