Join the Culinary Team at One of Baltimore’s Most Celebrated Restaurants
Charleston is a James Beard Award–winning, Baltimore-based restaurant led by culinary pioneer Chef Cindy Wolf. Recognized nationally for inventive, elegant cuisine, exceptional service, a treasured wine program, and warm, inviting décor, Charleston has been a landmark on Baltimore’s waterfront since 1997.
We are currently hiring Line Cooks and Garde Manger Cooks to join our talented, passionate kitchen team.
Who We’re Looking For
You’re an experienced cook with a strong foundation who is ready to refine your craft and learn from an exceptional team. You bring professionalism, clear communication, and the ability to stay focused, calm, and efficient during peak service. Most importantly, you are eager to grow.
About Our Cuisine
Charleston’s culinary philosophy is rooted in classic French principles, shaped by the seasons, regional seafood and game, local produce, and Chef Wolf’s longstanding Lowcountry influences.
Our tasting-menu format allows guests complete freedom to explore the menu, which changes daily and reflects Chef’s extensive travels through France, Italy, Spain, and beyond.
Chef Wolf maintains close relationships with area farmers and watermen and even grows ingredients at her home garden beds, ensuring exceptional seasonal products throughout the year.
A Kitchen That Teaches
Our kitchen thrives on teamwork and mentorship. You’ll work alongside both longtime cooks and rising culinary talent in a supportive, learning-focused environment. If you’re hungry to develop your skills and be part of something truly special, this is the place for you.
