Job Description Job Description
Company Overview:
Black Briar is a creative American restaurant anchored by an open coal grill, a serious raw bar, and ingredient-first cooking with a Chicago tavern soul. Led by Chef Jimmy Papadopoulos, we are opening in the West Loop and building something permanent - a kitchen with a point of view, a team with standards, and a menu that earns its place in the city we love.

We are looking for a Sous Chef who is ready to step into real leadership. Someone with strong technique, a coach's instinct, and the discipline to hold a standard shift after shift without being told to.

The Role:
The Sous Chef is the third in command of the Black Briar kitchen. You support and execute the vision of the Chef de Cuisine (CDC) - owning your station, leading your cooks, and ensuring that every plate leaving the pass meets the standard set by this kitchen. You report directly to the Chef de Cuisine.
