Job Description

Cookshop, a beloved neighborhood favorite dedicated to seasonal, locally sourced food, is looking for an ambitious, hardworking, and passionate Executive Sous Chef to join our culinary team.

As an urban restaurant rooted in the rhythms of the seasons and the products of regional farms, we bring vitality and energy to the table with every dish. Our cooks work closely with local purveyors, preparing menus that showcase the best ingredients available while honing classic techniques. We proudly serve lunch, dinner, and brunch, and are committed to creating food that is both memorable and meaningful.

Cookshop is part of The Bowery Group, home to celebrated neighborhood favorites Rosie’s, Shuka, Shukette, and Vic’s. Our group has been recognized with accolades including a James Beard Nomination for Outstanding Restaurateur (2022), Best Chef Greater New York (2022), and recognition in the New York Times “Top 10 New Restaurants of 2021,” along with numerous other press highlights.

We believe American cuisine is defined by its diversity — a vibrant mix of cultural, regional, and ethnic influences. At Cookshop, we honor this variety while staying rooted in seasonal, sustainable agriculture. “Seasonal and local” is more than a tagline for us; it’s a commitment to supporting the health of our land, our bodies, and our communities – ensuring a sustainable relationship with the farmers, schools, and businesses around us.

  • A collaborative communicator who embodies professionalism and respect.
What You’ll Need

  • Experience expediting and managing services of 300+ covers.

  • NYC DOH Food Handler certification (or obtained within 30 days).
  • Fluency in Spanish (required).
