We’re looking for a Chef de Partie to join the kitchen team at The Blues Kitchen.
The Blues Kitchen is known for late nights, world-class live music and proper American comfort food done well. Our kitchen focuses on the classics people crave: great steak, crispy fried chicken, award-winning buffalo wings, burgers, mac & cheese and big flavour-packed plates that guests come back for again and again. This is food that’s bold, satisfying and cooked with care. No gimmicks. Just dishes that hit the spot every time.
If you’re a chef who enjoys cooking fresh, flavour-led food in a busy kitchen, and you take pride in consistency and quality, this is a great place to develop your craft. Our kitchens are fast-paced and high energy, and we’re looking for chefs who thrive in that environment and care about the food they cook.
