About Nothing Burger & Chimis Venice
Nothing Burger is an independent food concept built around Chef Jon’s commitment to making everything from scratch. From house-made bread and burger buns to premium-quality meats and hand-cut potatoes for fresh fries and chips, every ingredient is chosen with care. We don’t use seed oils or unnecessary processed ingredients—just real food prepared the right way. The result is food that tastes fresh, feels surprisingly light, fits your macros, and—most importantly—is absolutely delicious.
As part of its Venice expansion, Nothing Burger will also operate Chimis Venice, the evening food concept located inside Club 7even, a new day-to-night hospitality destination in Venice Beach.
During the day, Club 7even operates as a specialty coffee shop. At night, the space transforms into a non-alcoholic wine and mocktail bar featuring Chimis Venice, serving a coastal Latin and Mediterranean-inspired menu.
We’re looking for someone who understands that a clean, organized kitchen is the foundation of every great restaurant.
