Junior Sous Chef

Lucky Danger - Arlington
Arlington, VA

Lucky Danger isn't your typical American Chinese restaurant—it’s an evolution. We describe it as "American-Chinese by a Chinese-American," a concept that takes the nostalgic flavors we all grew up with and elevates them through the lens of classic culinary technique and high-quality ingredients. It’s fast, it’s intense, and it’s deeply rooted in the idea that this specific cuisine deserves the same level of respect and care as every other cuisine.

We’re part of Tim Ma Hospitality, which means we value systems and precision just as much as we value flavor. At Lucky Danger, we work hard, move fast, and take immense pride in being the neighborhood’s go-to spot. We’re looking for people who want to master a unique craft and grow with a brand that is redefining what modern American-Chinese food looks like.

The Role

The Junior Sous Chef is the "Rising Leader." This is a transitional role for our most talented Lead Line Cooks who are ready to step into management. You are responsible for maintaining the standards of the line while beginning to take on the administrative and leadership responsibilities of a Sous Chef.

What You’ll Own

  • Station & Service : Act as a "swing" cook who can master any station on the line, while also beginning to learn how to manage the "Pass."
  • Prep Oversight : Assist in managing the prep team, ensuring that recipes are followed and stations are stocked.
  • Quality Control : Help the Sous Chefs audit station setups and taste components daily to ensure consistency.
  • Opening/Closing : Take ownership of opening or closing duties, ensuring the kitchen starts and ends the day in perfect condition.

Who You Are

  • Advanced line cook experience with a desire to move into management.
  • A team player with a strong work ethic and a "student of the craft" mentality.
  • Highly organized and reliable.

What We Offer

  • Competitive hourly rate or salary.
  • Health benefits.
  • Specific "Manager-in-Training" mentorship and dining privileges.
