Behind an unmarked door on East 6th Street, past a candlelit bar and a set of curtains, a wood-burning hearth is the center of the room. That's where you'd be working.

Big Slick is an intimate boutique steakhouse and bar from Michelin-starred chefs and Austin-based husband-and-wife duo Phillip Frankland Lee and Margarita Kallas-Lee. We cook premium beef, game, and seasonal ingredients over live fire, using classic French technique and old-world sensibilities. Our beef comes exclusively from Lobel's of New York and is dry-aged in-house, and our tableside preparations put the kitchen's craft right in front of the guest.


We're hiring a Commis Cook to learn the craft from the ground up and grow with us.

The position:
This is an entry-level position for someone with a little kitchen experience who wants to do a lot more. You don't need a culinary degree. What matters is that you're serious about learning every station, mastering the fundamentals, and building a career in this industry. You'll work alongside our Chefs de Partie and Sous Chefs, learning classic French technique and live-fire cooking from Michelin-starred chefs.

We're building the next generation of our kitchen, and we're looking for people who plan to stay and grow with us.

Duties of the day:
 
  • Prep ingredients: wash, peel, chop, portion, and make the sauces, stocks, and mise en place that keep service running
  • Support the line during service, and work toward the hearth and tableside preparations
  • Learn our recipes, plating standards, and station setups
  • Receive and store deliveries, and rotate stock
  • Get hands-on experience with our in-house dry-aging and butchery program
  • Keep your station clean and follow all food safety standards
  • Take feedback well and ask questions
Where you fit
  • Someone with some back-of-house restaurant experience, such as prep cook, line cook, or similar. 
  • Motivated to build a long-term career in the culinary world
  • Reliable, positive, and a good teammate in a fast-paced kitchen
  • Detail-oriented
  • Eager to take feedback and improve every shift
  • Comfortable on your feet, working near a live-fire hearth, and lifting up to 50 lbs
  • Available evenings, weekends, and holidays
  • Holding a Texas Food Handler Card, or willing to get one before your start date
  • Basic knife skills.
 
Pay and Perks
  
  • Full time 40 hours + OT Pay: $7.25/hour plus tips. Commis cooks typically earn around $45,000 per year with their share of tips
  • Hands-on training from Michelin-starred chefs
  • Health benefits, PTO, staff meals, dining discounts, etc.
  • A tight-knit, chef-driven team that promotes from within
  • A chance to work in one of East Austin's most talked-about restaurants
 
Compensation: $7.25 per hour

U.S. Equal Opportunity Employment Information (Completion is voluntary)

We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.

You are being given the opportunity to provide the following information in order to help us comply with federal and state Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Action record keeping, reporting, and other legal requirements.

Completion of the form is entirely voluntary. Whatever your decision, it will not be considered in the hiring process or thereafter. Any information that you do provide will be recorded and maintained in a confidential file.

Form CC-305
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 4/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.
