Charlie Trotter's jobs and careers

About Charlie Trotter's

Charlie Trotter’s redefined American fine dining—introducing the tasting menu to Chicago, pioneering the kitchen table experience, and raising generations of culinary talent who went on to shape the industry. Today, we honor that legacy with intention and innovation. Located in the original townhouse at 816 W Armitage Ave, Charlie Trotter’s has returned as an intimate venue for exclusive dinners, private events, and special collaborations with some of the world’s most celebrated chefs and artisans. Through our ongoing Guest Chef Dinner Series and curated experiences, we aim to preserve Chef Trotter’s commitment to excellence, mentorship, and hospitality—while building a modern expression of what fine dining can be.
