The Millennium Seoul Hilton has announced that its Executive Chef Hyo Nam Park was the latest recipient of the Ordre du Merite Agricole (Order of Agricultural Merit).
A special ceremony took place on July 21 at the Millennium Seoul Hilton Hotel. There, Executive Chef Park was honored with the Medaille du Merite Agricole, a prestigious decoration that is presented by the French government to individuals who have contributed significantly to the field of agriculture. This award was first established in 1886 by Mr. Jules Meline, the French Minister of Agriculture at the time.
Executive Chef Park was bestowed this honor for his decades of devotion and hard work in the field of French cuisine. He is acknowledged as one of the driving forces advancing the level of French gastronomy, not only in Korea, but also in the international arena. He is the only Korean national to be appointed executive chef in Hilton's multi-national hotel chain.
While Executive Chef Park's duties span all nine dining outlets of the hotel, his culinary genius can be truly experienced during one of his Gourmet Circle dinners at Seasons, the hotel's French restaurant. Offered only four times a year with the changing of each season, Executive Chef Park creates an epicurean tour de force, where each dish of the multi-course dinner is a culinary triumph.
