Here at the Hilltop House our philosophy on cooking is that food should be as aesthetically pleasing to the eye as it is pleasing to the palate. We look for height, color and outstanding presentation in all of our creations.
MEET OUR CHEFS
MARK DERRICK
Award winning Chef Mark Derrick grew up in Fayetteville, NC and has been employed at the Hilltop House for over a year. In that year he has fine tuned his culinary skills to new levels. Mark graduated from Johnson & Wales University and is ACF certified. Chef Mark loves the challenge of creating features that are showcased nightly here at the Hilltop House.
MATT GRAHAM
Chef Matthew Graham got his start cooking at the Radisson Prince Charles Hotel in 1992 as a breakfast cook. Working in a full service hotel allowed him to gain experience in various aspects of cooking such as breakfast cooking, touch/line cooking, buffets and catering events. With hard work and determination, Chef Matthew became the head chef at the Prince Charles Hotel. In 1997 he was offered the opportunity to work at the Hilltop House. He loves teaching young people the avenues of cooking, while making sure they put in the work themselves. He also offers them advice on food and life and lives by the motto that, "You should take it seriously, but have fun with it...use your talent, or you will lose it."
We use only the choicest ingredients, including fresh herbs, many of which are produced locally. Our cuisine may be best described as new Southern cuisine with classic French influences. We utilize many of the classic French cooking techniques and sauces in our cooking while giving our innovative cuisine a new world, modern day twist.
“There is nothing more pleasing to me than to present my cuisine to a guest and see that they have thoroughly enjoyed it.” Beth Shearin-Smith – Executive Chef & Owner, the Hilltop House
We strive to give all of our guests the ultimate dining experience.
