the girl & the fig in Sonoma is always accepting applications for both Culinary and Pastry Externs. Externship applicants must be CIA students needing an externship as part of their school requirement.
We are a restaurant group with multiple locations in the Sonoma Valley, which includes the girl & the fig in Sonoma, the fig café in Glen Ellen, the girl & the fig CATERS!, Suite D, The Fig Rig, and our FIGfood product line. We strive to use the best in local, sustainable food, and we continually develop many in-house programs to promote those ideals. Our second cookbook was released in 2011 and focuses on our seasonal Plats du Jour menu while also featuring many local farmers and artisan producers. Please visit us online for more information.
We are happy to work with any requirements of your externship and want you to make the most of your time with us. You are encouraged to ask questions and let us know your interests so that we can provide you with the experience that will help you grow and learn the most while you’re in our kitchens.
