What are the responsibilities and job description for the Lead Line Cook position at 13th Street Kitchens?
Cafe Lift has been a Philly brunch staple for 20 years. It was husband and wife, Michael and Jeniphur Pasquarello’s vision to create a restaurant that would not only be progressive in its location, but in the food that they would be serving. As a cafe they strived to push the boundaries of what a bruncherie could be, and placed a strong emphasis on supporting the region's farmers and purveyors.Two decades later, that same drive and passion has not changed. These principles led to the creation of the Pasquarello's group 13th Street Kitchens, of which Cafe Lift is the cornerstone.
