Roy’s appoints new corporate executive chef

Roy’s Restaurant has appointed chef Gordon Hopkins as its new corporate executive chef.

Hopkins will be responsible for continuing to grow the brand and will provide strategic direction on menu development as well as train and mentor new chefs.

Previously, Hopkins was the executive chef and partner for Roy’s original restaurant in Hawaii for 30 years before leaving the brand in early 2017 to pursue new endeavors.

“I am very excited to be back at Roy’s and look forward to sharing my culinary experience with the gifted chefs in each restaurant,” said Hopkins in a statement. “Roy’s truly is a culinary experience that merges French, European and Asian cooking styles in a way that is perfect for today’s fresh approach on elevated gastronomy.”
