Thinking Food Jobs, December 6, 2024
Do you want to live on an island?
Do you have excellent culinary skills?
Can you operate a boat?
If you can answer “yes” to these three questions then I have two job opportunities for you to consider:
On the west coast: The East Brother Light Station Bed and Breakfast, in San Francisco Bay, is searching for a couple to serve as innkeepers. Annual compensation is approximately $140,000 for the couple, including health insurance and living quarters. Keepers will need to operate the five-room inn, cook and serve dinner and breakfast, and ferry guests to and from the mainland.
On the east coast: The Shoals Marine Laboratory, located on Appledore Island on the Maine/New Hampshire coastline, has openings for seasonal positions, including Head Chef, Sous Chef and cooks. In addition to culinary duties, all staff must work as crew members on board a commercial vessel and operate small vessels. Employment dates are April 21 through September 14, 2024 and pay ranges from $25/hour for cooks to $1,400 per week for the head chef.
Lastly, as an amuse-bouche for those who share my appreciation of LinkedIn’s frequently absurd search results, you will want to know that Floating Chef at Harvard is also suggested as an “island chef” role — no boating skills required.
