Line Cook / Prep Cook (Full-Time)

Through the Vine | Fort Lauderdale, FL

Through the Vine is a new Italian aperitivo and wine bar opening in Fort Lauderdale, and we’re building our opening kitchen team. Our concept is built around the aperitivo experience: shareable bites, curated boards, Roman-style pinsa, a raw seafood bar and classic Italian dolci, all designed to pair with wine and spritzes.

This is not a high-pressure, heavy-sauté kitchen. Our menu is intentionally streamlined, with a focus on quality ingredients, clean plating and consistency. If you take pride in precise, organized work and want to be part of a new concept from day one, this is a great fit.
