We are currently seeking a dedicated and experienced Full Time Executive Chef to join our culinary team at Bavette's Bar & Boeuf. This leadership role is essential in upholding the high standards for which Hogsalt is celebrated.

As the Executive Chef, you will lead the back-of-house operations with a focus on excellence, consistency, and collaboration.
