The award, designed by Hubert Fattal, is a testament to Guillaume Gomez gastro diplomatic efforts for 7 years. Joumana Dammous Salame, Gabriel Fernaine and Tony Ramy were present during the awarding.

Despite the fact that gastro-diplomacy dates back to the Napoleonic era and maybe even prior to that, its importance has become more relevant today than ever before. Gomez, being a staunch supporter of this movement has invested a lot of effort into strengthening the culinary diplomacy between Lebanon and France.
