JUPITER. FL - September 24, 2014 - Wyndham Grand Jupiter at Harbourside Place, Jupiter's newest upscale hotel scheduled to open this fall, has appointed Michael Molloy as executive chef. He will oversee culinary staff and operations while exploring industry trends and the latest in food innovation.

With more than 16 years of culinary experience and an eye for detail, Molloy has been a key figure in pre-opening efforts for several upscale and luxury properties. Most recently, Molloy was responsible for five food and beverage outlets as executive sous chef of the Wyndham Grand Orlando Resort Bonnet Creek, where he also helped develop menus and food concepts at the resort's award-winning deep blu seafood grille. Having earned its reputation as one of Orlando's best restaurants, the deep blu seafood grille concept will open at Wyndham Grand Jupiter as the property's main restaurant.

“Mike connects to the local culture through his use of simple, fresh ingredients, allowing his flavors to tell the story of the dish and the surrounding area,” said Matthew Boris, general manager of Wyndham Grand Jupiter. “He will be focused on offering unique takes on Jupiter's favorites and providing our guests with an unrivaled dining experience.”

In addition to his history with the Wyndham Hotels and Resorts® brand, Molloy's background includes culinary positions at the Don Cesar in St. Petersburg, Florida, the Royal Pacific Resort, a Lowes Hotel, in Orlando, Florida, and The Gaylord National Resort Convention Center in Washington D.C., the largest convention hotel on the east coast. Throughout his career, Molloy has worked his way from line cook to executive chef and has experience and skill in all aspects of culinary hospitality, from the basics of operations to serving groups of 10,000 people. He will utilize his experience and passion to bring Jupiter's culinary scene to life for both travelers and local residents.

“The farm-to-table movement will be a major influence on the Wyndham Grand Jupiter's dining concepts,” said Molloy. “Our menus will reflect a concentrated effort to deliver outstanding, sustainable dishes that also support local farmers, fish mongers and businesses.”

Molloy earned his associate's degree in culinary arts from The Pennsylvania Culinary Institute before moving to Florida to start his career. His resume boasts an array of awards including Employee of the Month at the Don Cesar Resort and Spa and the Loews Hotel Award of Excellence.

The Wyndham Grand Jupiter at Harbourside Place, situated in the Harbourside Place development, a highly anticipated community of shops and restaurants near the area's major corporations, will boast 179 elegant rooms, 15,000 square feet of flexible event and meeting space and three dining experiences.
