Good Food Jobs is a gastro-job search tool, designed to link people looking for meaningful food work with the businesses that need their energy, enthusiasm, and intellect. We post opportunities with farmers and food artisans, policy makers and purveyors, retailers and restaurateurs, economists, ecologists, and more. Good Food Jobs will launch this summer.
the gastrognomes is a blog for food lovers who want to put their passions to work. We profile the most interesting, engaging, and unlikely food professionals that we find, and we publish them here to inspire you.

Sure, we all love restaurants, but that doesn’t mean that you have to be a 4-star chef or the next Danny Meyer to get in the game. The key is to embrace your interests and utilize them to your advantage (hey, chances are other people might be looking for the same info you are; in this case finding the best spots to eat that won’t break the bank).
