THE ROLE
Legends is seeking a dynamic, hospitality-driven Executive Chef to lead culinary operations at The Cowboys Club — an exclusive, invitation-only private club and restaurant located inside The Star, the world headquarters of the Dallas Cowboys. This is a rare opportunity to build a signature culinary program for one of the most iconic brands in professional sports, in a setting where members gather to socialize, unwind, and entertain against the backdrop of Cowboys history and tradition. The Executive Chef will own the full culinary vision for the Club — from concept and menu development to daily execution — setting the standard for a dining experience worthy of the Cowboys name. This is a hands-on leadership role for a chef who thrives on creativity, precision, and building a team culture rooted in excellence. The Executive Chef reports directly to the General Manager and partners closely with Legends' broader culinary leadership team.
