Overview Have you always wanted to live in the remote regions of the PNW? Where your days off are spent walking beaches, fishing and exploring the outdoors rather than fighting traffic? We are living your dream life and we invite you to join us! We are looking for an experienced Cook/Chef to join our Toast & Jam "fam"! "Toast & Jam" is a dual entendre... warm comfort food and homemade bread... and to "cheers" or celebrate and gather with friends... with music. We are located in the remote community of Clallam Bay on the Olympic Peninsula (on the edge of the Olympic National Park and 40 minutes from Cape Flattery
- the northernmost point on the contiguous United States. Our community is small
- but wonderfully supportive
- and our tourists are aplenty!
Our goal is simple. Real food from ingredients you can pronounce. A comfortable and welcoming environment where you can get a craft cocktail, a nourishing and generous meal and you feel welcomed. We are a place where hikers and fishermen gather alongside traveling scientists, writers, musicians, and business owners. Arrive in a suit or your gumboots and you will always feel right at home. When we started Toast & Jam in May of 2025 we were fortunate enough to have an amazing Cook join our team. He has worked alongside us to bring something very special to our community. We are looking for a teammate for him. Someone capable of taking some of the burden off of his shoulders and help us expand hours and days in a lead position. We are not in a hurry... but when we find the right person we will make room for you! We are looking for someone passionate about great tasting food. Our kitchen is small but our vision is big and we have been able to create amazing success in the last year and a half. We want someone capable of sharing the lead on dinner specials and menu design who also understands that in a rural restaurant we all do prep, dishes, etc... We have a baker on staff who makes all of our breads and desserts (yep... we even make our hamburger buns)... so bonus points if you can bake too or have a partner who bakes! Seating
- 65 (looking to add 20+ on a deck next summer and have hosting wedding receptions and events of 120).
