Ground every answer in facts on this page and the original listing. We never invent Glassdoor-style reviews or salaries that are not in our data.
Be ready to walk through a class you led end-to-end, how you handle food-safety issues mid-demo, coaching a weaker associate, and balancing hospitality with sales goals. Ask how Sur La Table Madison measures culinary program success and how CSC Generation brand standards show up in store.
Strong fit if you like teaching cooking in a specialty retail setting, can lead people on the floor, and want on-site work in Madison for a Sur La Table / CSC Generation brand—not a remote desk role.
As Culinary Lead for Sur La Table under CSC Generation in Madison, a typical day centers on floor leadership for cooking classes, demos, and product storytelling: prep stations, coach associates on technique and safety, run timed class flow, restock tools and ingredients, and keep the selling floor aligned with recipes and promotions. Expect heavy guest interaction, opening/closing class spaces, and coordination with store ops so culinary programs drive both education and conversion.
