Walter Royal 

 

5/18/1956 – 5/22/2023

It is with the heaviest of hearts that we sadly mourn the loss of Chef Walter Royal.  He was the Angus Barn’s Executive Chef for more than quarter of a century receiving many accolades including winning Iron Chef America in 2006.  His spirit, kindness, and desire to mentor others was legendary.  He set the example for a life well lived, even in the face of adversity.  His legacy will live forever, and he will be greatly missed by so very many.  May he rest in peace.
