About the Job
“Orange County diners will soon have the opportunity to break bread with Benny and Mary, two very eccentric individuals whose space is quite eclectic, yet surprisingly comfortable,” said Vigil in a press release. “We are confident that this wholly unique space with a fabulous atmosphere will captivate with its vibrant energy and whimsical sophistication.”
Executive Chef Matthew Resler (who helmed menus at Temecula’s Public House and the Rustik Fork in Riverside) will create the new eatery’s brunch, lunch, and dinner offerings. Benny and Mary’s will feature dishes like chopped kale salad with green and purple kale, Korean short rib tacos with bulgogi-braised short rib and house-made kimchi, bucatini with house-made fennel sausage and pistachio pesto, and a 12-hour braised short rib osso bucco with amaretto-butternut squash puree.
Our bar is completely craft and we require 2 years experience in a fine dining atmosphere.

We want to be a united team whose synergy together is evident to all that walk through our doors. Please only apply if the experience above matches your experience.
