At Burger & Butcher, we don't cut corners — we cut fresh potatoes for our fries and fry everything in pastured beef tallow instead of seed oils. We call it the Clean Standard, and it shapes everything from the beef we source from Pat LaFrieda and Glenmalure Farms to the buns we get from Balthazar Bakery. We're a smash burger spot, but we take food quality and our team as seriously as any fine-dining kitchen. We're growing our kitchen team and hiring prep cooks, line cooks, and food runners . Whatever your experience level, we're looking for people who care — about the food, about each other, and about the guests who walk through our door.
