Executive Chef

Hufft Marchand Hospitality is searching for an Executive Chef to lead the kitchen at The Overpass Merchant — one of Baton Rouge’s most respected neighborhood restaurants and bars.

This is not a clipboard chef position.
We’re looking for a hands-on leader who thrives in service, develops people, understands systems, and loves creating food that guests actually crave.

The right candidate can balance:

  • High-volume execution

  • Team culture and accountability
  • Seasonal features and specials
  • Kitchen organization and cleanliness
  • Training and development

You’ll work directly with ownership and leadership to continue evolving a restaurant that has been part of the Baton Rouge dining scene for years.

What We’re Looking For

  • Proven leadership experience in a high-level kitchen
  • Strong understanding of ordering, inventory, prep systems, and scheduling
  • Ability to lead from the front during service
  • Passion for hospitality and team development
  • Someone organized, driven, creative, and calm under pressure
  • A chef who understands both the art and business of restaurants

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary (DOE)
  • Growth opportunities within a multi-concept hospitality group
  • Creative freedom and collaboration
  • Supportive ownership team
  • Opportunity to make a real impact
