Join the Adventure Dinner Team!   

EVENT + PREP COOKS — JOIN US!

Adventure Dinner is looking for cooks to join the event crew this holiday season!

This is a non-traditional culinary role that deviates from the monotony of typical restaurant routines. This is not your average line cook position–your role may include, but is not limited to, food and beverage prep, cooking at pop-ups, cooking at outdoor events, food vending, setting up and executing public and private events, and helping the team with breakdown. We pay competitive hourly rates and share gratuity evenly among the entire team. We don’t believe in separating the front and back of the house. 

Our kitchen embraces a diversity of viewpoints and cultural identities. Adventure Dinner’s culinary team is a place of learning, inclusion, and development where we foster a safe environment for hospitality professionals and newbies alike.

How We Cook

Adventure Dinner combines seasonally-driven fare with creative themes. Our Chef Team has a combined 40 years of experience in a variety of different cuisines and techniques. We work directly with local VT farms to source the highest quality meats, fresh produce, and unique ingredients. We have a refined, uncomplicated approach to food.

Must have:

  • Desire to learn

  • Kindness 

  • Passion for food and hospitality. 

  • Some cooking experience: we are open to diverse backgrounds and greener candidates.

  • Genuine enthusiasm for creating connections and fostering community 

  • Ability to lift 50 lbs and stand for a full shift 

  • Ability to take direction and constructive feedback  

  • Ability to work independently as well as on a dynamic team 

  • Ability to maintain composure while under pressure 

  • Ability to clearly communicate your feelings

  • Eagerness to jump into new experiences

EVENT TEAM — Holiday Season!

Do you love food, drink, the beautiful Vermont outdoors? Adventure Dinner is seeking hospitality-driven humans to join our events team!

“Dining partners, regardless of gender, social standing, or the years they've lived, should be chosen for their ability to eat - and drink! - with the right mixture of abandon and restraint. They should enjoy food, and look upon its preparation and its degustation as one of the human arts.”
