The new year will bring new restaurants and Txokos Basque Kitchen is now hiring. This is one of the anticipated new restaurants coming to Orlando in 2014. With dishes inspired from the Basque region in Northern Spain, the restaurant is lead by James Beard Award semi-finalist, Henry Salgado of Spanish River Grill. I’ve peeked in the space, located at the East End Market, and I can tell you it will be unique and you will be able to watch the culinary staff in action. That’s all I can say for now, but if you have culinary kitchen or restaurant staff experience and looking for a new position, see what Txokos Basque Kitchen is looking for in the information below.

Txokos Basque Kitchen (cho-kos) is a fine dining restaurant in a casual setting inspired by the Basque region in Northern Spain. Our chef/owners, Henry & Michele Salgado, also own the popular Spanish River Grill in New Smyrna Beach and Chef Henry is a James Beard Award semi-finalist. We are looking for upbeat, professional, friendly team members who share our passion for fresh, locally sourced ingredients and our commitment to food quality, service excellence and providing guests exceptional dining experiences.
