Jon Gosselin has a new career.

The 39-year-old who found fame as the father of eight on TLC’s “Jon & Kate Plus 8” is the new cook at T.G.I. Friday’s in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

“He works here because he likes to cook,” Scott Trompeter, the restaurant’s general manager and a friend of Gosselin, told Page Six on Wednesday. “He cooks during the day for me and sometimes here and there. He’s done a great job the last couple of months. He’s part of my Friday’s family.”

Gosselin, who divorced ex-wife Kate Gosselin in 2009, works seven to eight hours day, three days a week at the restaurant simply because he loves to cook, Trompeter added.

“He does a great job, but I know one thing for certain, he does donate his check every week,” Trompeter said, although he couldn’t name which organizations are receiving Gosselin’s wages.

While cooking is Gosselin’s focus a few days a week, he’s not neglecting his deejaying career: He occasionally plays a set at Friday’s.

As for his life outside the restaurant, Gosselin’s still a family man.

“I know for a fact that he really cares about his kids. I know he enjoys the time he gets with them,” Trompeter said.
