Executive Chef Location:

The Perlant, Atlanta The Perlant is a private social club rooted in wine. Our goal is to build a community around a shared love of food and wine, paired with unmatched hospitality and member experiences. The reason you must work in the kitchen at The Perlant is because you want to be a part of a team that works together to get through every ticket that comes in. In the kitchen you will learn (how to take) old school techniques and apply them to new and fun to work with products. In the Perlant kitchen we will always have time to break and eat together if you wish. In the kitchen at The Perlant we are going to have one voice but also have the autonomy to make decisions that are positive for service. When we are in service, all outside distractions will go away and we will be of one mind in executing call after call. When it’s time for a “chat in the walk in” everything is going to be brought forward with respect and with a heart of understanding. Why Work With Us? At The Perlant, we are working to build a different approach to hospitality and the private membership experience. Built on the key tenets of being humble, generous and kind, we hold our members and employees to the same expectation in all experiences and interactions. From our beautifully-designed space, to a world-class wine collection and seasonally-driven menu, our Atlanta space will be the flagship location for our future growth and expansion. We are excited to build a team of hospitality professionals who are passionate about service, redefining hospitality, building camaraderie, the passion and experience of wine, and remarkable relationships.
