Lead Line Cook

Joe's Stone Crab is a legendary dining establishment that first opened its doors in Miami Beach in 1913. Starting as a humble eatery set up on the front porch of Joseph Weiss and his wife Jennie's home, it has grown into one of the most beloved and widely recognized restaurants in the world. Famous primarily for its fresh Florida Stone Crab, as well as signature sides and the iconic key lime pie, Joe's Stone Crab delivers not only an exceptional dining experience but also a deep-rooted culinary tradition. Over more than a century, the restaurant has expanded its presence across major cities. The partnership formed in 2000 between the Sawitz/Weiss family and Lettuce Entertain You founder Richard Melman gave birth to Joe’s Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab in Chicago, which combines prime steaks, fresh seafood, and the hallmark Joe’s Stone Crab dishes in a sophisticated setting. Following this, the brand extended further to Las Vegas in 2004 and Washington DC in 2014, continuously establishing itself as a high-quality dining destination in multiple markets.
