As a flagship of FS Food Group, Midwood Smokehouse has redefined the art of smoking meat, blending hardwood and hard work to craft an unparalleled barbecue experience. Founded in 2011 in Charlotte’s vibrant Plaza Midwood neighborhood, our restaurant is a nexus of culinary excellence, where smoked meats meet rustic charm and modern comfort. We are seeking an Executive Chef who can lead our culinary team, elevate our operations, and expand our footprint in Columbia.
As the Executive Chef, you will orchestrate a dynamic menu that celebrates locally sourced ingredients, smoked to perfection over hickory hardwood.

You will ensure our kitchen is a paragon of efficiency, cleanliness, and tight inventory control, mentoring a team to foster an environment of culinary excellence and operational precision.
