Job Description
Fearless Restaurants is a well-established and renowned collection of dining establishments dedicated to providing exceptional culinary experiences in a sophisticated yet inviting atmosphere. Known for its commitment to innovation, creativity, and impeccable service, Fearless Restaurants has built a reputation for excellence in the hospitality industry. The company prides itself on blending high quality cuisine with an exceptional dining environment, making it a leader in its field. With a focus on delivering extraordinary guest experiences, Fearless continues to expand its portfolio, offering new and exciting venues for guests to enjoy.
Currently, Fearless Restaurants is seeking an experienced and passionate Culinary Director of Events to join their talented team. This role will initially start at Triple Crown, the company’s largest and most ambitious project to date, located in the prestigious Radnor Hotel. This 17,000 square feet indoor banquet space, which officially opened in April 2024, accommodates up to 250 guests with elegant seating arrangements and a dance floor, making it ideal for a wide variety of events including weddings, corporate functions, graduations, and funerals. The project also includes a 20,000 square feet outdoor banquet area, set to open in 2025, and a premier restaurant launching in fall 2024, representing a multi-phased development that will further elevate Fearless's presence in the event and dining space.
The setting for Triple Crown is inspired by Ralph Lauren with an equestrian theme featuring classic design elements such as plaid, stripes, and chinoiserie details, creating a timeless and luxurious ambiance. The outdoor garden space will feature a glass conservatory for a la carte dining or event use, alongside a Sperry sail-cloth tent capable of accommodating 250 guests seated, perfect for weddings or large gatherings. With two kitchens designed to meet the demands of large-scale culinary production, Triple Crown represents a chef’s dream and an exciting challenge for culinary leadership.
As the Culinary Director of Events, the role requires leading the culinary vision for banquet operations, ensuring that all food served is of the highest quality, presentation, and creativity. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience in high-volume kitchens, a strong understanding of fine dining principles, and the ability to design sophisticated event menus that wow guests. Responsibilities include overseeing menu development, managing kitchen operations, leading culinary teams, coordinating with event planners, and ensuring compliance with health and safety regulations. The position demands strong leadership, creativity, and organizational skills, as well as a passion for delivering exceptional guest experiences.
This role offers an incredible opportunity to contribute to one of the most significant projects in the company’s history while collaborating with a dynamic team in a vibrant and growing restaurant group. Competitive salary and benefits, opportunities for career growth, and the chance to make a lasting impact in a premier event and dining venue await the successful candidate. This position is perfect for a seasoned culinary professional ready to step into a highly influential leadership role within Fearless Restaurants.
