Sous Chef

Chimney Park Restaurant

03.2020 - Current

Prepped station, wherever that was daily in a very orderly, focused and fast paced fashion.
Created my own dishes and pay very close attention to detail when plating.
Consistently experiment with different flavor profiles, making sure to have well balanced and delicious dishes every single time.
Very quick learner, and love to try new things and always stay challenged. I am always looking for new inspiration, and to inspire others.
Ran food to guests and knew all of the table numbers, eager to present personal makings to guests first-hand.
Very cleanly and organized, during prep and service. Made a point to always stay clean throughout those times.
Mindful about things that need to be done, and very mentally organized in any situation, during prep, service, etc.
Love to bring forward new ideas, and bounce off of others with what they bring to the table.
Able to work any station, and willing to learn any new ones. I have worked pastry, pantry, expo, saute, and grill.
Have also worked on front of house side, with tasks like running food, interacting with guests, and helping the wait staff with various things they need.
Have single-handedly perfectly executed souffles after only having one trial run the day prior, and had never done them before that.
This is my first and only job that I have had. I started 3 years ago as a dishwasher, and worked my way up in the kitchen. I fell in love with it instantly.
Very personable, and love to meet and work with new people. It creates inspiration to work with so many different personalities and people from different places / cultural backgrounds.
Takes constructive criticism very well, and always want to hear how I can do better and improve. I rarely take anything personal.
Proud in my ability to work as a team member, and have everyone's best interest at heart. I always only want to see others succeed, alongside myself.
Very reliable person, and very professional. I have never called out of a shift, unless it was for serious personal reasons. Will always show up when scheduled.
Good leader and tell people things how they are. Assertive when I need to be.
Very good communicator, about anything. When I need days off, if someone is doing something wrong, etc. I don't shy away from the hard conversations.
If something doesn't go right or as planned, I am good at thinking on my feet and problem solving quickly.
Modified recipes to accommodate dietary restrictions and allergies.
Did the weekly orders from over 8 food reps.
Oversaw everything in the kitchen, including orders, stations, prep, inventory, and much more.
Multitasked by working meat station along with making sure my team was prepared for service, writing the menu, putting in orders, and talking to customers.
Solid expo, as I know every stations needs and how the kitchen runs as a whole when in that position.
Create a good shift flow with my team and always making sure everyone else has the support they need.
