The Climb
The line from dishwasher to Executive Chef is usually built on repetition, timing, and the ability to hold a station without losing the room. Andrew Chadwick’s early work at Hell's Blazes Tavern, first as a dishwasher and then as a line cook, fits that trade logic: learn the pass, learn the pace, learn what every hand in the kitchen depends on. From there, he moved into an internship at Chatham Bars Inn in Chatham, Massachusetts, adding a second fixed point in a career that would keep returning there. At Chatham Bars Inn in Chatham, Massachusetts, Chadwick’s return as Executive Sous Chef from 2012–2016 marked the move from entry-level kitchen work into a role that demands control across service. The title required more than technique; it meant carrying the room, keeping standards steady, and translating line-level discipline into team leadership. Those four years placed him firmly in the operational center of the kitchen. Executive Chef at Inn by the Sea in Cape Elizabeth, Maine, from 2016–2022 gave Chadwick a longer stretch of kitchen authorship. Six years in that post points to sustained responsibility: maintaining rhythm, holding standards, and shaping a kitchen over time rather than in bursts. It was a period that kept him accountable for both the daily work and the larger tempo of the operation. Since 2022, Andrew Chadwick has been Executive Chef of Chatham Bars Inn and chef of Schwarz Gourmet. The return to Chatham Bars Inn in 2022 brings his career back to a property that appears repeatedly in his progression, now from the top kitchen role. Alongside Schwarz Gourmet, the position keeps him active across two named operations.
