EJI is also committed to changing the narrative about race in the U.S. which led them to create the Legacy Sites as places for people to learn about and reckon with our history of racial injustice, in the hopes that together we can shape a more just future. </span></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt\">The Legacy Sites draw hundreds of thousands of visitors to Montgomery each year, and it is necessary for visitors to have convenient and quality food options to stay engaged in the multi-day Legacy Sites experience. Hence why EJI has invested in creating restaurant and hospitality infrastructure in Montgomery, to provide plenty of choice to Legacy Sites visitors. These hospitality spaces also serve as important places for Legacy Sites visitors to decompress and process what they have learned at the sites. </span></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt\">Plaza Pizza is the newest expansion of this effort and it is opening as a summer pop-up, with support from the Brigaid team. As the EJI Program Chef, you will focus primarily on transitioning the space to a long-term, fully operational restaurant that consistently offers guests delicious food and an exceptional hospitality experience, exemplifying EJI’s highest standards. You will be instrumental in bringing deep knowledge of culinary excellence and operational best practices to EJI’s newest hospitality venture. </span></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold\">What the Position Entails:</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt\">Your work will depend on the needs of the program.
