Lead Line Cook / Tournant Chef

Location : Leesburg, VA

Opening August 2025

The Huntōn is a luxury boutique hotel and fine dining destination opening August 2025 in Leesburg, Virginia. Built on craftsmanship, sustainability, and quiet excellence, The Huntōn is chasing stars and shaping the future of Virginia’s food scene. We are looking for a strong, versatile Lead Line Cook / Tournant Chef — a key position for those ready to take the next step toward sous chef responsibilities.

About the Role :

The Lead Line Cook / Tournant Chef is the kitchen’s ultimate utility — able to work every station with precision and calm under pressure. You’ll support the culinary leadership team by stepping in where needed : working sauté one day, garde manger the next, helping with pastry plating, or overseeing mise en place to keep the brigade tight and focused.

This is a growth role for someone on the verge of becoming a Sous Chef . You’ll be expected to lead by example, uphold the highest standards, and serve as a mentor to junior cooks.

Key Responsibilities :

• Work across multiple stations (hot line, cold line, pastry, prep) with speed and precision
• Fill in as lead on stations during service or when cooks are out
• Execute mise en place to standard for multiple parts of the menu
• Support Chef de Cuisine and Sous Chefs with quality control, training, and prep supervision
• Help train new cooks and ensure systems and recipes are being followed consistently
• Maintain organization, cleanliness, and efficiency throughout the kitchen
• Uphold food safety, sanitation, and storage protocols at all times
