Chef de Cuisine

Chef de Cuisine / Head Chef – New Restaurant - Opening Jan 2026

Responsible for overseeing all culinary operations, including daily production, quality control, service and team leadership at a new Italian restaurant in Easton, Maryland.

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

Join owner Emily Chandler and Executive Chef Chris Beasley in creating a new restaurant for the company Piazza Italian Market.  Piazza has become a fixture in the “big little” town of Easton where a mix of locals and former Washingtonians make a rich community of eager diners.

The new restaurant, ACCANTO, will operate autonomously from the store but build on its successful program of classic regional Italian foods created from a network of local and international suppliers.

Italian cooking experience is required.  Chris and Emily are looking for a culinary partner to bring life to a new facet of our business.  We have a great grocery, deli, wine selection, catering department, café, lunch and carry out program but it’s time for us to add night-time dinner service centered around fried appetizers, seasonal vegetables, a wood burning oven with the additional goal of using local, whole animals.
