An O'ahu, Hawaii native, Chef Pahk began his career as an apprentice in Waikiki. After receiving training in French cuisine, he worked at local restaurants where he added gourmet seafood and Continental cuisine to his repertoire.
His formal education took place at Syracuse University, and at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York. Upon graduating from CIA, Chef Pahk embarked upon his career with The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company in 1984 as executive sous chef. While there, he established an impressive following for his Asian-influenced California cuisine. Transferring his West Coast talents to Atlanta in 1994, he was also in charge of The Ritz-Carlton, Atlanta Culinary Arts School, which was held annually.

I had the opportunity to try the "Terra Blues" on My JetBlue (what a co-incidence) flight. I was most impressed. Came home wondering where on earth I could find them and then lo-and-behold there they were sitting on my local SuperMarket shelf. I am very happy to be reunited with this delicious delight. Thank You. I shall be looking forward to all future epicurean creations.
