Today’s the big day: Our second location, Potomac’s Founding Farmers, is officially open for business! Earlier this week, Potomac Patch sat down with Farmers Restaurant Group Executive Chef Joe Goetze to learn more about the restaurant’s menu and his philosophy on food and cooking. Watch the video below.
Washington Post food writer Tim Carman recently chatted with Dan Simons, our concept developer and managing partner, about the new Founding Farmers location that will be opening in Potomac, Md., soon.
However, if you’re feeling adventurous, we’ve got another way for you to apply for a position. Put yourself in a YouTube video and let us know all about you, why you’d like to work at Potomac’s Founding Farmers, and why you’re the perfect server, chef, bartender or host/hostess, and you could win a job — not to mention a cash prize of $500!
