Art Institute of Dallas Culinary Program Question?
Is this school as good and prestigious as they want me to believe? The Culinary program(specifically the Restaurant Management program) is so expensive so I'm going to outside sources for some opinions. Also, would it be just as good as going to the Le Cordon Bleu program which isnt as expensive but still costs a pretty penny and may or may not offer a degree? And what are considered the top Culinary schools in America??? PS I can cook but I want to go back to school for my degree and gain some credentials because my ultimate goal is having my own party planning business.<br />

Art Institute of Dallas Culinary Program Question?
The top culinary school in the U.S. is the Culinary Institute of America (CIA). Johnson & Wales is also very good. Both of these schools offer degree programs.
The Cordon Bleu programs aren't well regarded, and have nothing to do with Le Cordon Bleu-Paris (i.e., the famous Cordon Bleu) except the fact that it licensed the name (they are not branches of the same school, in other words). As for the standing of the Art Institute of Dallas in culinary programs, I'm in the business and have never heard of the place. Personally, I'd take the money and go someplace more prestigious. |
