Royce Tanaka is originally from Hawaii, but currently lives in Fresno, CA with his wife Terri. Royce is a Chaplain with the Kaiser Permanente Medical Center. His grandfather, Masao Teruya, was born in the Territory of Hawaii and served in the US Army as a Tech 4 in WW2. After the war, he enrolled in the first class to attend the baking program at the Honolulu Vocational School, leading him to open a handful of bakeries where Royce’s family all worked and where his grandfather made everything by heart. Royce is hoping Milk Street will be able to recreate his grandfather's famous butter rolls so he can share them with his family who are coming into town for a visit.
