MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (August 15, 2025) – Brittain Resorts & Hotels has appointed Brian Hayes as Corporate Executive Chef, bringing more than two decades of culinary leadership and fine dining experience to the company’s food and beverage operations.
Hayes has held executive roles in both high-volume and exclusive culinary environments, including private clubs, Michelin-starred kitchens, and top-tier catering companies. Most recently, he served as executive chef at Fire to Table, a scratch kitchen focused on locally sourced ingredients. Before that, he led culinary operations at the DeBordieu Club in Georgetown, S.C., where he oversaw multiple outlets and $3.2 million in annual food and beverage revenue.

Hayes’s career began with an apprenticeship at the acclaimed Le Gavroche in London and includes leadership positions at Abigail Kirsch Culinary Productions and the United Nations. Known for his innovative approach, he has executed events for high-profile clients across New York and the Southeast.
“Brian’s range is exceptional. He’s just as comfortable running a high-end private club kitchen as he is leading large-scale catered events,” said David Crone, vice president of food and beverage. “His creativity, discipline, and attention to detail will elevate every aspect of our culinary experience.”
In his new role, Hayes will oversee menu development, kitchen operations, and culinary team training across select Brittain properties.
