3+ years of Executive Chef experience is required for this position. **Off-premise catering experience is a HUGE plus**

Feast Your Eyes Catering in Philadelphia, PA seeks an experienced full-time Executive Chef.

Who we are: We are a premier Philadelphia off-premise and on-premise caterer located in Philadelphia’s burgeoning South Kensington Arts District. Feast Your Eye regularly caters to intimate dinners for 6 as well as large-scale gatherings for 1,000s.

Here at Feast Your Eyes, we aren’t afraid to think outside of the box and challenge the traditional ways of catering. While we aren’t a traditional restaurant, our standard is to provide similar, high-quality dishes. We encourage our clients to demand the same expectations when planning an event for 1,000 as they do for a dinner of 10 at a five-star restaurant. We value the power of diversity, especially in our culinary portfolio. We have talented chefs from around the world, which gives us leverage in exploring a variety of global cuisines. Our repertoire grows quickly each year and new items quickly become old favorites. We believe that every event should be a custom culinary experience!

Candidate Summary: The ideal candidate can take initiative and show leadership while at the same time being a great team player (not a one-man show operation). You love food and have a passion for hospitality. Your demeanor is calm and friendly. You lead by example.
