Zohran Mamdani seeks new Gracie Mansion chef

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is seeking to hire a new cook for the Gracie Mansion residence. The position, which offers a salary of $64,500, involves preparing meals for the Mayor, his family, and official guests.

The job posting specifies a requirement for experience in multiple cuisines, with a particular focus on South Asian and Middle Eastern cooking. Candidates must maintain strict confidentiality regarding the Mayor, his guests, and household operations. The role reports to the Senior Executive Chef and requires at least three years of culinary experience, strong knife skills, and the ability to adapt to shifting kitchen demands.

The vacancy arises following the departure of a previous cook who left for a position in a restaurant. The existing five-member kitchen staff, led by an executive chef who has served previous administrations, remains in place.
