Job Description
Riverstone Estate LLC is a prestigious 1200-acre private estate located in Akron, Ohio, renowned for its working farm that provides a unique opportunity for farm-to-table cuisine preparation. As a small and growing private company, Riverstone is dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of living and culinary excellence for its owners. The estate combines luxury with sustainability, placing an emphasis on fresh, locally sourced ingredients, and a lifestyle that values health and environmental consciousness.
This position offers a rare chance to join a dynamic environment where culinary arts meet personalized service in a private household setting. The Private Executive Chef role is a critical part of the estate’s lifestyle, tasked with delivering customized meals that suit the dietary needs and preferences of the principal and their guests. This includes preparing daily meals for the household as well as special holiday meals, dinner parties, and business functions hosting up to 20 guests.
The chef’s expertise will extend beyond routine meal preparation to include planning weekly and daily menus, coordinating ingredient procurement from local farmers’ markets and vendors, ensuring meal quality and food safety, and maintaining kitchen efficiency. The ideal candidate will be skilled in various culinary disciplines, including accommodating dietary restrictions such as gluten-free, vegan, paleo, keto, and other specialized diets. Creativity, attention to detail, and a passion for seasonally-inspired dishes using fresh and organic products are essential.
Additional expectations include maintaining discretion and professionalism at all times, flexibility to accommodate last-minute changes, and the ability to travel with the principal between the primary residence in Cleveland, OH, and the secondary residence in Foxburg, PA. This role also offers the possibility to act as a culinary advisor for future business development within the estate, making it an appealing choice for a chef looking to advance their career in a private and exclusive setting.
Given the estate’s location and lifestyle focus, candidates should ideally reside within commuting distance of Northeast Ohio or Western Pennsylvania to fulfill travel requirements effectively.
