This is not your average line cook job! We believe that a restaurant is an organism, and every person - from the host to the line cook to the dishwasher, plays a critical role; because of this, we split tips evenly amongst all employees, front + back of house. That means everyone makes good money! We pay the Denver 2024 tipped minimum wage of $15.27 as a starting base wage. That plus tips averages between $27 and $37 per hour; our pay structure promotes a profoundly positive team environment. We offer (really good!) health dental and vision insurance after six months, free parking and dining discounts.
We are an extremely small kitchen with a crew that has to work well together. We are a very serious kitchen we work hard while we are here so that we can get out and enjoy our lives outside of work. We make almost everything in house and every team member is responsible for helping each other out. You must have a good attitude, be willing to learn, work clean and take criticism well. We ask that you at least work 6 months before deciding if this is the right fit for you. It will take that long to become comfortable in this position (garde manger and saute) If you come ready to learn you will do well here! If you are a cook yearning to learn and grow--this is the place for ya.
About Annette:
Caroline is a 2022 James Beard Award winner in the Best Chef: Mountain category!
Caroline Glover founded Annette in the fall of 2016. She named the restaurant for her feisty and brilliant great aunt Netsie, a novelist and short story writer who lived in small town Texas. Netsie didn't teach Caroline to cook, though her tamales and martinis were exemplary. Instead, she taught Caroline to have an opinion. That confidence in her own good taste has carried Caroline through 14 years in the restaurant industry.
Before winning a James Beard Award in 2022, Caroline and her staff were nominated for the award four times. In 2019, Caroline was named one of the 10 best new chefs in America by Food and Wine magazine. In 2017, Annette was named one of the 50 Best New Restaurants in the Country by Bon App tit magazine and was also was Eater Denver's restaurant of the year. Annette has been on 5280 magazine s list of Denver s 25 best restaurants each year since it opened
