Line Cook at GIRASOLE

Job Description

Job Description

Girasole, a mainstay of northern Virginia’s upscale dining community since 2004, seeks a dedicated Line cook to join its back-of-house culinary team, led by celebrated chef and owner Louis Patierno.

A graduate of the Culinary Institute of America with over 30 years of experience spanning both the stateside (Washington, D.

C., Virginia, Pennsylvania, Iowa) and international (France, Italy) markets, Chef Patierno seeks a motivated professional to work alongside him in creating inspired menu selections, from time tested staples beloved by loyal clientele, to new dishes that make it a memorable dining experience for our guests.

In addition to an enthusiasm for producing creative menu selections, ideal candidates will also have a desire to grow their professional capabilities under the guidance Chef Patierno.

The ability to take direction, while also supporting other members of the kitchen-team, is necessary for success in this role.

While Line cook experience in a fine-dining setting is preferred, motivated candidates with reliable work histories can also be trained.

Specific responsibilities include :

• Line cooking experience is preferable; however, on-the-job training can be provided to the motivated candidate with a good work history.
• Be an integral part of our small kitchen team and provide support and creativity in any area needed, including preparing dishes for standard menu items, preparing salads, making bread and pasta, cooking on the line, and cleaning the kitchen at the end of each shift.
• Manage inventory, identifying items to be ordered, and ensuring products for standard menu items are on hand.
