Grill Cook

Job Summary

GRILL COOK

We’re looking for someone who takes real pride in the grill.

At Curious Kitchen, we need an experienced Grill Cook who can cook a steak perfectly and consistently, every single time.

Medium rare means medium rare.
A beautiful sear matters.
Proper seasoning matters.
Resting the meat matters.
And the plate leaving your station should be something you’re proud to put your name on.

This is a position for someone who understands that consistency is what separates an average cook from a great one.

What You’ll Do

• Cook steaks, proteins, and grilled menu items accurately to temperature every time
• Maintain proper seasoning, searing, resting, and presentation standards
• Manage multiple proteins and temperatures during busy service without sacrificing quality
• Set up and maintain a clean, organized, fully stocked grill station
• Follow recipes, portion standards, and plating specifications
• Communicate with the chef and the rest of the line to keep tickets moving
• Maintain excellent food safety, sanitation, and product-handling standards
• Treat every plate like it matters, because it does
• Help maintain a kitchen culture built around teamwork, urgency, accountability, and pride

What We’re Looking For

We are looking for someone with real grill experience, preferably in a high-volume or quality-driven restaurant.

You should be comfortable cooking steaks and proteins to multiple temperatures during the same service and be able to recognize doneness by experience, touch, timing, and proper use of a thermometer when necessary.

More importantly, we want someone who cares.

Someone who notices when a steak isn’t right before the guest ever has the opportunity to notice.

Someone who keeps their station clean.

Someone who communicates.

Someone who takes pride in getting better.

And someone who understands that being busy is never an excuse for sending out bad food.

What You Bring

• Previous grill or sauté experience in a professional kitchen
• Strong knowledge of steak temperatures and protein cookery
• Ability to work quickly and accurately during high-volume service
• Strong organization and station-management skills
• Excellent food safety and sanitation habits
• Dependability and a strong work ethic
• Ability to take coaching and work as part of a team
• Genuine pride in the food you serve

If you know how to run a grill, can cook a steak perfectly every time, and want to work somewhere that actually cares about the quality of the food leaving the kitchen, we want to meet you.
