About the Workplace

Brasada Ranch spans 1800 acres of natural beauty in the rolling hills and rugged high desert of Central Oregon. The resort is ranked #8 Best Resort in the United States by Conde Nast Traveler and is known for its panoramic views of the Cascade Peaks and extraordinary guest experiences.

At Wild Rye, the restaurant embodies the spirit of the high desert, with every dish intricately tied to the land, season, and regional lifestyle. The menu features local ingredients such as elk, venison, rabbit, and buffalo, alongside foraged items like western juniper, sagebrush, rye, elderberry, wild strawberry, and huckleberry. The kitchen emphasizes smoke and fire, with dishes smoked, grilled, spit-roasted, or torched to reflect open-range and campfire cooking.
