At Southall, we are looking for team members to help us as we continue our journey to inspire culinary consciousness – showcasing fresh, seasonal fare that highlights the path from seed to plate. Our dining experiences take place just steps from where our ingredients are grown and raised.

Our two restaurants, Sojourner and January, each evoke a feeling of their own; Sojourner, our center of the life in the Inn, where all are welcome to gather, and our all-day and in-room dining emanates from its kitchen. The vibe is elegant but casual. January, exclusively for dinner, with each meal dependent on the season and ingredients available for harvest, is now MICHELIN-Recommended and MICHELIN Green Star–awarded, recognizing both its culinary excellence and commitment to sustainability. It is where our guests will come to share the joy of a meal with family and friends all while watching it all prepared in a state-of-the-art open kitchen.

The Pastry Line Cook will have the opportunity to work with the seasons of Middle Tennessee in creating unique, product-driven delights that fully utilize the wealth of amazing produce that we have on property. Working in concert with the Executive Pastry Chef and the team, the line cook will represent the culinary department with honor and professionalism throughout all departments. The pastry team will oversee operations in the Inn, Events Center, Jammery and all other venues on property.

Please note this is an evening shift supporting our fine dining restaurant, January.
