Line Cook

About Sam’s Table

At Sam’s Table, we’re not just creating dishes; we’re creating memories. We’re a 26-seat tasting menu restaurant with a singular goal: to make our guests feel like they’re walking into a home where every meal is a celebration of the season, of place, and of the people we care about.

The experience at Sam’s Table is grounded in care, connection, and craftsmanship. We work with ingredients that reflect the region and the seasons — and we present them with intention, love, and a quiet attention to detail. Every plate, every interaction, every service is an opportunity to create something meaningful for our guests and for each other.

We’re looking for a Line Cook who wants to be part of something more than just a restaurant. You’ll work closely with the chefs and our small, tight-knit team to create food that feels personal, intentional, and full of soul.

As a Line Cook, you’ll not only be responsible for fulfilling the daily operations of the kitchen — you’ll be entrusted with helping shape the very heartbeat of our restaurant. This role is for someone who loves the craft of cooking, but also understands that great food comes from a place of care, collaboration, and a shared commitment to excellence.

We’re not looking for someone who just gets the job done — we’re looking for someone who genuinely wants to help us tell our story through food, who thrives in a small, highly creative environment, and who believes in making every detail count.

• Create an environment where the team feels empowered to ask questions, take risks, and take pride in their work.
• Be a calm presence during service, helping the team stay focused, efficient, and inspired.

Manage the Details

• Helping with inventory, ordering, and vendor relationships with integrity, ensuring that we have what we need while maintaining efficiency and cost awareness.
• Oversee health and safety standards, ensuring that cleanliness and organization are top priority at all times.
• Keep the kitchen stocked and prepped, always anticipating what’s needed for service and the days ahead.

Collaborate & Contribute to Something Bigger

• Work with the front-of-house team to ensure seamless communication and timing — food that is perfectly executed and delivered with warmth and intention.
• Be part of our vision for the future of Sam’s Table, contributing your ideas and energy to shaping our menu, our experience, and our culture.
• Help us tell the story of Sam’s Table, not just through the food, but through every moment we create together.

• A natural ability to mentor and coach others, fostering growth and pride in the team.
