Santa Ana, United States Detention Restaurant Full time
Job DescriptionJob Description

A one-in-a-million job for a one-in-a-million chef.

Trust is a culinary theater where three chefs prepare a 12-course meal for 18 guests sitting along a bar surrounding the kitchen.  A sommelier pours paired wines with each course.  Yelp listed Trust as one of the top 100 places to eat in America in 2023.  The restaurant is open Tuesday through Saturday, running eight or nine services per week.  The theme (and therefore the menu) changes every night or two, giving the Chef great opportunities to show his range of talents and creativity in utilizing the finest locally sourced ingredients, which are supplemented with exciting products from around the world like A-5 wagyu beef, Ibérica de Bellota pork and white truffles.

Few chefs can handle this job.  It requires a broad range of food knowledge and cooking skills, a highly creative and inventive mind, intense passion, charisma and a desire to engage with every guest.  You've got to lead a team of three chefs in prepping and running all services, manage all purchasing, menu planning and execution, and manage a sommelier who also acts as host and reservation concierge.  Trust is a sister restaurant of Jason Quinn's Detention Restaurant (fka Playground), to which it is physically connected, and you would have support from Jason and his team for management of the reservation system (Tock), guest communications, cross-utilization of resources, including shared food staples, equipment and staffing.

This is your chance to run your own restaurant with more than 10 years established good will, a perfected business model and an incredible support structure.  Please do not apply unless you are capable of handling this prestigious position and the massive responsibility that comes with it.  We don't expect that you currently live in Southern California.  We will cover travel expenses for serious, qualified candidates who are prepared to stage for a few days to become more familiar with the job and the team.

Company DescriptionDetention Restaurant and Trust operate within a single building on a busy corner in downtown Santa Ana (DTSA). They share an in-house bakery, a prep kitchen, Detention's show kitchen and the Trust culinary theater. The restaurants also share a common wine cellar, bar and lounge, dish pit and administrative resources. Since 2011, we've been on the cutting edge of the Orange County dining scene. We're still operated by Jason Quinn, who's passion and commitment to quality have garnered a substantial following among guests and chefs alike.Company DescriptionDetention Restaurant and Trust operate within a single building on a busy corner in downtown Santa Ana (DTSA).
