Hear From Our Team

Why join our team? Becoming a Brigaid employee brings great opportunities to do meaningful and impactful work, learn about the institutional food space, collaborate with dedicated and hardworking individuals, and provide nourishing, thoughtfully-prepared meals to people everyday.

Before Brigaid, I was working in fine dining restaurants in Napa, California for Thomas Keller. Meet Chef Joe.

The biggest misconception about school and other institutional kitchens is that talented, passionate people don’t work in these spaces. School kitchen employees work really hard every day to make sure their students have access to a fresh & healthy meal! Meet Chef Ben.

I joined Brigaid because I believe in our mission — to use the skills and knowledge I’ve collected through the years and give it back to communities like mine to inspire and lead a path to a brighter future through the healing power of food. Meet Chef Nick.

Being a Brigaid Chef is so much more than having a culinary background; if you can be a breath of fresh air when entering an institutional kitchen, then you have already started making impact. The work begins in simply showing up and bringing genuine positivity. Meet Chef Shayne.

The most rewarding part of my job is getting to interact with the students every day and making food they appreciate. Meet Chef Octavio.

Before Brigaid, I was working in Chicago for over 5 years, my experience spanning Michelin starred restaurants (savory) to being an Executive Pastry Chef turned Culinary Director at a pie shop/cafe. Before that, I ran my own bakery/cafe for 5 years. Meet Chef Mai.
