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 operator -- someone capable of taking full ownership of the kitchen while 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, develops systems, 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.

Responsibilities Culinary Leadership & Execution: 

• Oversee all daily BOH operations for both prep and service
• Lead and manage the AM prep team and PM line team
• Uphold and execute Chef Christophe Bellanca’s culinary standards and philosophy with absolute consistency
• Maintain an extremely detail oriented culture centered around refined French technique, sauces, precision, organization, and discipline
• Ensure all mise en place, prep, and execution meet Michelin-level expectations
• Expedite and lead service while maintaining calm, clear communication & urgency
• Lead by example through professionalism, cleanliness, organization, and work ethic
• Actively coach, mentor, and develop cooks at all levels

Team Management & Accountability:

• Hold BOH employees accountable through consistent documentation, communication, and follow through
• Conduct performance conversations, write-ups, coaching documentation, and corrective action when necessary
• Build systems and maintain structure within a small but highly demanding team environment
• Foster a culture of accountability, consistency, urgency, and mutual respect
• Assist in hiring, onboarding, training, scheduling, and team development

Administrative & Operational Responsibilities:

• Manage BOH scheduling and payroll
• Oversee ordering, inventory, receiving, and vendor relationships
• Monitor food cost, waste, and labor performance
• Ensure organization and cleanliness standards are maintained at all times
• Assist in menu costing, recipe standardization, and operational systems
• Work closely with ownership and leadership on operational goals, staffing strategy, and long-term growth of the restaurant

Qualifications:

• Michelin-starred or equivalent high level fine dining experience strongly preferred
• Proven experience managing both people and systems in a demanding kitchen environment
• Strong leadership presence with the ability to command respect while developing teams
• Highly organized with exceptional attention to detail
• Deep understanding of French technique, sauce work, and refined execution
• Ability to thrive in a small team, high expectation environment
• Strong administrative and operational skills, including scheduling, payroll, inventory, and ordering
• Professional, composed, and solution oriented under pressure
• Passion for hospitality, mentorship, and continuous improvement
