Sous Chef
Around the Table Cincy
Cincinnati, OH
We re growing and we re looking for a Sous Chef who brings skill, steadiness, and pride in their craft to every experience.
At Around the Table, we believe food is more than a meal it s an experience. We create elevated culinary experiences for private gatherings, events, and corporate clients, always with care, creativity, and genuine hospitality. We re a collaborative team that values communication, balance, and execution just as much as great flavor.
We re not a traditional restaurant. We re looking for a Sous Chef who thrives in a dynamic environment, supports the Chef in leading culinary execution, and brings both skill and calm to the kitchen. This role is hands-on, collaborative, and ideal for someone who values quality, teamwork, and flexibility over the grind of restaurant service.
