Job description

Beautiful Location and Atmosphere, Farm-to Table Restaurant, Grow With Us And Help Us To Become A Destination!

We're looking for our next great Executive Chef to lead us to our full potential of being a destination restaurant. The Crown is a 5-year-old restaurant and bar sitting atop a spectacular 5-acre property overlooking the John C. Campbell Folk School. Our concept is focused on celebrating traditional Southern Appalachian cooking while incorporating flavors and inspiration from global cuisines we love, with an emphasis on sourcing locally, environmental sustainability, and supporting local farms and the community. 

• Our core values are Excellence, Integrity, and Community.
• Our atmosphere is laid back, yet elegant.
• Our menu is dedicated gluten free but caters to a wide range of tastes.
• Born of two connoisseurs who wanted to create an exceptional culinary treasure in their beloved mountain town. Maintaining approachability and recognition with a wide range of audiences is of utmost importance to our vision.

Building Community is at the heart of our mission. Our next Chef is passionate about food, is a fair and just leader, and creates exceptional food with love.

Where we are:

Brasstown, NC is a unique and welcoming community of artists, musicians, and craftspeople in the Blue Ridge Mountains of far southwestern North Carolina. Located about 5 miles from the Georgia border and 30 miles from Tennessee, our community is within close driving distance to the nearby towns of Murphy and Hayesville, NC and Blue Ridge, Blairsville, Hiawassee and Young Harris, GA. Home to the renowned John C. Campbell Folk School, Brasstown has long been a destination for adventurous, fun-loving and progressive folks from around the country and world. Our area is abundant in natural beauty, and whether it's in the backyard, a hiking trail or one of the many nearby state and national forests or rivers, there's never a shortage of outdoor activities to enjoy. Often referred to as the place "where NC begins", we're an easy 2-hour drive from Atlanta, Asheville, Chattanooga, Knoxville, and more.

What We're Looking For:

Whether an industry veteran or hardworking culinarian ready for more responsibility, we're looking for a like-minded professional to help bring our vision of quality and community-focused food and hospitality to life in the role of Executive Chef. While working in concert with the owners to execute an overall vision, the Executive Chef will be expected to operate autonomously on the creative direction and menu development for the restaurant at large.
