What are the responsibilities and job description for the Sous Chef position at The Dixboro Project?
The Project is entering a new era with our new award-winning Chef Partner Garrett Lipar coming on to lead our culinary team and bring our guests on a whole new journey. We are seeking talent to join a highly ambitious kitchen and service team with the mission of becoming one of America’s great restaurants.
Our operation is a multi-concept dining establishment in the heart of charming Dixboro Village and was developed by the influential Ann Arbor restaurant group, The Pulpo Group led by founder and visionary, Sava Farah. This ambitious project is the group’s third restaurant in a storied legacy begun in the late 1880’s. The Dixboro Project has two concepts: Dixboro House and The Boro To Go.
The Dixboro House menu, like the dining room itself, is refined and rustic for an elegant and expertly crafted appetizer and cocktail, family night out for pizza, special occasion, tasting dinner or anything in between. The underlying definition for our food: Honest, Clean, and Bold Cooking Presented Beautifully. The Boro is our side door all-day café featuring woodfired pizzas, takeaway meals, a full range of expertly produced baked goods, Roos Roast coffee, adult beverages and much more.
