1 min read

Del Frisco’s Restaurant Group Inc. announced Tuesday it has named Maeve Grey as executive chef and Mark Smith as general manager for the new Del Frisco’s Grille restaurant scheduled to open in September at the Promenade at Chenal.

“We’re excited to open our doors this September and call Little Rock home,” Smith said in a news release. “We’ve added some great talent to our staff and are looking forward to meeting new guests and welcoming them with our genuine hospitality.”

Smith brings more than 35 years of restaurant experience to Del Frisco’s Grille in Little Rock. He is one of the few employees to have run several brands under the Del Frisco’s umbrella and has been an integral part in the restaurant group’s success.

“I’m so eager to bring my own twists and flares to the classic menu items offered at Del Frisco’s Grille,” Grey said.

Grey has served as Executive Chef for Del Frisco’s Grille since January 2015, and oversees all day-to-day culinary operations for the Little Rock location. Prior to this position, Chef Maeve served as Director of Back of the House Operations for all kitchens under the Yellow Rocket Concepts umbrella where she oversaw the behind the scenes culinary procedures for all locations.

The new restaurant will be located in the Promenade at Chenal at 17707 Chenal Parkway, Little Rock.
