    I mentioned that “chef” is the leader of the restaurant I misspoke I meant to say “kitchen” but ideally the chef is in charge of all things kitchen operations in tandem w/ FOH manager

    Education is a treasure no situation, no pandemic nothing can ever take it away from you, if culinary school was not necessary, then why should we get educated in the first place. the very institution of education is to impart knowledge, skill, competence, attitude, professional growth, value inculcation and social cohesion. I do agree there are a lot of untrained chefs out there who have made it big, but like you said every situation is different we cant see what our situation in the future is gonna be or if the industry is gonna revive or not, whatever be the situation, education is something which will prepare us for "ANY SITUATION". Situations always change, why not be prepared. If Augustus Escoffier never recorded his ideas and recipes for future chefs, we would never have the 5 mother sauces. In todays world we need to understand every perspective which is related to food, hygiene, technique, innovation, equipment, new trends, development. No one can learn History, Culture, Tradition, through experience you have to go to school for that.

    I went to culinary arts program and baking and pastry arts at my local community college and graduated it was worth my time. I been in the food industry for 15 years and i went to the healthcare field and became a dietary cook. Your right the first few years you make minimum wage you start at the bottom as a dishwasher, prep cook, cook. The cooking industry is a lot of hard work, sweat and blood.

But, now I'm considering culinary school because I'm tired of doing 300 covers a night, I'm ready to pursue a reservation only job. Thankfully I have a community college nearby that offers an associate's degree for only $12k, which is a steal for certain. Honestly though because of how the pandemic has flipped our world upside down it may be smarter for me to just get a food truck and work for myself. Anyway thank you for the video!

    Thanks Chef, holy sh/t you wouldn't believe how hard it is to get a straight answer out of the rest of the Internet. I started my journey in earnest around the end of 2019, I got a REALLY good gig, my whole crew takes care of me and teaches me, and some of them went to school but most you can tell by their life stories didn't get whats advertised out of it, these are guys who come from culinary "lineages" lets say, Dad was a cook, grandfather was a cook....type stuff or just have been doing it their whole lives. I've had figured that there was no reason to go to culinary school, but I always felt the need to be absolutely sure. Because lets be honest, colleges in generate all nearing their expiration date when it comes to teaching anything. But now I can focus again on my journey, use that money that I would have instead to learn a language, for FREE, as one of the BENEFITS I am getting in my kitchen. o7

    My grandfather was a chef and my dad was a chef for 25 plus years, growing up as a kid my mom would bring me to the restaurant a lot an I would get to sit in my dads office and watch him in the kitchen, I always wanted to be a chef but my dad always told me no it’s too hard of a job, I’ve had almost every job in the book and it hasn’t worked out for me, last year I decided I finally wanted to give it a shot an was talking to my parents about going to culinary school, my dad said get a job at chipotle and see how you like it because they do crazy numbers in sales, so I did, I became a cook and worked at chipotle for 6 months and was told by the manager I had been doing an awesome job and that the food tasted good, I left after 6 months due to a situation with a co worker, after that I became a supervisor at ups and realized the only place I’ve ever felt where I belonged was the kitchen, recently have just talked to my parents about going to culinary school again, I’m 26 years old right now and I would love to be able to follow my fathers footsteps right now but I feel I need to go to the cia to take my cooking to the next level, student loans would be on me and I’m not sure what to do now, I feel like this is my last shot and that I need to go to school but I can’t seem to make that decision after watching these videos on KZread, I am very passionate about cooking and bringing a smile to the community’s face with just a plate of food, what are your thoughts? My dad went to the cia but he took the certificate programs and the restaurant owner paid for it so yeah I’m not sure what to do

    hey ! listen this is a tough decision, I want to say upfront you do not need a culinary school degree to become a "chef" however if you truly what to go then just keep in mind that it is really expensive 90k+ and student loan debt is a real issue. and it is low pay when you are just starting out. now I will argue that CIA is the best out there. but for your situation I would recommend NOT quitting your day job. focus on getting a job at a chef driven Restaurant that is reputable. preferably fine dining. Unfortunately Chipotle is not good for chef training, stay away from fast casual. I really hope this helps and let me know if i can assist any further. Good luck! Brandon

    I guess it depends on what your trying to accomplish..I went through a free culinary apprenticeship, the Chef who was giving the training set it up like it was a school.after ever class we had quizzes and exams once you passed you got issued a certificate. But anyway I think culinary school is good if your looking to start your own business like a food truck, caterer, private chef or if your trying to work in a hospital, hotel, somewhere you can use your skills.but if its like a corporate owned restaurant (like chili's or applebbes) or some independent restaurant than no go somewhere your skills can be used.most of these corporate owned restaurants can give a darn about your culinary degree you may the best cook in the restaurant but there not going to start you more than that cook who been on the line for 10 yrs. Plus most are cook to order so really they can hire anyone off the street to come in and cook. Just what I've seen the 15 yrs I worked in the restaurant industry.

    IS CULINARY SCHOOL WORTH IT Culinary school takes time, effort and financial investment, so it’s not for everyone. But if you have a true passion for culinary arts and want to reach the top, studying at a culinary school is one of the best ways to get there. What are the pros and cons of culinary school Culinary schools are great places to learn all about the culinary arts, whether you’re a school leaver, an ambitious graduate or a career changer. Many who go into the culinary arts decide against studying and prefer to learn on the job. That’s fine, but if you truly want to reach the highest standards, studying for a culinary degree at a renowned culinary arts school is definitely something you should consider. So, what are the pros and cons? Read on to find out. Pros and cons of culinary arts Pros You get to learn directly from world-class professionals and acquire culinary skills faster - Students at culinary schools are taught by top-class chefs who give you the benefit of their years of experience and knowledge of culinary techniques. - Some of the top culinary schools, such as the Ecole Ducasse, have Michelin-starred chefs guiding their philosophy, meaning you get an even higher standard of culinary education. You will master the most advanced classical techniques and the latest trends - Investing in a culinary school education means you can become a true master of the culinary arts and genuinely earn the white hat. - The best culinary institutions teach you the fundamentals of classical cookery as well as the latest techniques and trends, so when you graduate, you won’t feel out of place in a modern kitchen. You can gain real-world experience from internships at high-end restaurants - Attending a good culinary school means you will be exposed to higher-end restaurants through valuable work experience - the kind of places you could never get to from the street. - Only through studying at a renowned culinary institute will you develop the kind of skills and connections you will need to unlock internship opportunities at Michelin-starred restaurants. You boost your career opportunities at the upper end of the culinary industry - Studying at a culinary school not only exposes you to the restaurant industry through your internship, it also opens doors. - A top culinary school’s name will go a long way to helping you land your first job, while good schools often have a thriving network of alumni who can help with introductions in the culinary world. You learn on the latest equipment and hone your skills in a professional environment - A good culinary institute will have access to world-class equipment and you will get to learn in kitchens that look just like those found in top restaurants. You will learn the entrepreneurial skills you need to start your own business - When you’re a chef, it’s important to know how to manage suppliers, source ingredients and market your business as well as run a kitchen and you will learn these skills at a culinary school. - The best culinary schools go even further, teaching you the entrepreneurial skills you will need if you want to open your own restaurant. You can immerse yourself in haute cuisine by living and studying in the home of gastronomy - There are culinary schools all over the world, so you can learn the culinary arts in far flung places with strong culinary traditions. - With schools such as Ecole Ducasse, you can study in France, the home of gastronomy where you can not only learn from the best, you can also live and breathe the culinary arts. Cons A culinary education takes time and commitment - Becoming a top chef takes time. As well as the knowledge and expertise you will need to reach the top, you also have to put your personal life on hold and dedicate years to mastering the skills that will make you a top chef. - If you choose to learn on the job instead of at culinary school, you may be earning a decent amount of money and acquiring some basic knowledge, but can you be sure your learning is structured in the right way? There is a risk of stagnation if you decide against taking some kind of formal culinary program. It’s a financial investment - There’s no escaping the fact a good culinary education is not free and you will need to make a financial investment if you want to attend culinary school. - But for many people, it’s a good investment in the long run. Among the many things that that make that expense worth it: - Access to industry leading professionals who can accelerate you to the highest standard quickly - Contacts that can unlock internships at some of the most highly regarded restaurants - The kudos of the having attended a renowned institution that will help you stand out from the crowd and reassure employers about the standard of your education - The business acumen you acquire, meaning you can manage a restaurant or run your own business. It’s difficult to juggle family and social life with a culinary education - Not everyone who attends culinary school is straight out of high school and many students have to fit their studies around family and work commitments. - If you have to work while studying, you will never get to see your family and friends because you will always be in the kitchen. But those with a true passion for food always find a way to make it work and some schools offer flexible learning programs that can help. Should I go to culinary school? While not for everyone, culinary schools enable students to channel their passion for food in a structured way that makes becoming a top chef more realistic. To get the most out of it, you need to have the drive and commitment and be prepared to work hard. But if you really want to reach the top, culinary degrees will help. That’s especially true if you take a Bachelor’s degree in culinary arts, which is a program that covers all the fundamentals and more while also giving you a real taste of what life in a professional kitchen is really like through internships. Culinary school graduates are highly sought after in the industry because employers value not only the course content but also the kind of discipline a culinary degree program will instil in students. What should I know before going to culinary school? If you have decided to attend a culinary school, you should be aware that it is not only a financial investment - it’s also an investment of time. But if you are serious about becoming a chef, it’s a genuine investment in yourself too, because it’s the best route to gaining the skills and expertise you will need to reach your goals. Is culinary school expensive Depending on where you choose to study and the duration of the culinary program you take. Attending a culinary school, the costs will vary from school to school. But most culinary professionals view it as money well spent, because getting a good culinary education at a renowned school has a whole host of benefits, including: - Access to faculty who are experts in their field Internship opportunities you could never imagine without being a culinary student - Business acumen that will be invaluable if you decide to open your own restaurant. - Culinary graduates view the initial cost of their education as an investment in themselves and this is borne out in the job opportunities they unlock having the reputation of a good culinary institution behind them. Will I have fun at culinary school? Although it’s hard work, there is no better place in the world than a culinary school if you are passionate about food and eager to learn from the best. You get access to top chefs every day, work alongside like-minded people who share your enthusiasm and drive to succeed and train on high-end equipment in state-of-the-art kitchens. If your goal is to work in the food industry, culinary school will give you the perfect platform from which you can continue to grow and make your mark as a chef. Culinary_school_worth_it.jpg How long does it take to finish culinary school? The length of your culinary education entirely depends on what stage of your career you are at and which of the many culinary school programs you decide to study. For high school leavers taking a Bachelor’s culinary degree, you should expect to spend at least three years studying before you graduate, especially if your program includes an internship. Those looking to improve on the skills they already have or seeking a change of career may opt for a diploma instead, which generally takes around nine months. Will culinary school get me a job There are few guarantees in life, but what’s clear is that a culinary education at a renowned school makes it much easier to land your first role on graduation. As well as demonstrating you have learned the right variety of skills you will need, a culinary education will show employers you have the determination and commitment to the culinary arts. Not only that, real-world experience is highly valued by restaurants, so programs with internships can be a game-changer. Train to be a chef at one of the best culinary schools around With expert faculty, incredible facilities and unrivalled industry connections, Ecole Ducasse offers a culinary education that provides a great return on investment

Plus I get a whole year of placement at a resteraunt with my course. So I feel like I've made the right choice. And luckily my fees are not $100,000 but more like 40k. But I am able to pay it off luckily, as I make over 20k a year with my current part time job.

    I have 3 associates in the culinary field and a Bachelors in Communications. 25 years in the Hospitality Industry. I was a GM, and I'm a CEC. Now mid forties and I'm in a totally different field. If you are new or are interested in going in, here's a personal experience. The hours were horrible, no weekends, holidays, set hours. I have worked 9 days in a row, 12 to 15 hour days, slept in a booth overnight because i was doing a close-open. Developed a drinking problem, fainted during a shift due to dehydration and it had a negative effect on my 1st marriage. Substance abuse, and depression are common among the people you work with. I worked with dozens of managers in my time, some died young, got divorced, drank to much and none really liked their jobs. The public is awful to deal with. Your overworked, underpaid and no appreciation. Do not just have culinary degrees, get your Bachelors in something! Anything! Even its just general. Reason is if you ever decide on a carrer change, at least you'll have that qualification to fall back on. Better yet.....just don't go into it!

    Hmm....what if someone wants to be a private chef and not interested in restaurant business. How should I get started? I've been cooking different dishes at home on my free time for a few years now. Not sure where to start.......

    I would advise young people now to avoid culinary or hospitality careers. The industry is getting even more stressful post-covid, you will most likely get underpaid and overworked compared to other professionals in other careers. Managers and chefs are facing an industry that will be chronically understaffed for the foreseeable future all the while facing ever more pressure from upper management.

    what about going to a community college or adult school Culinary arts program in Los Ángeles I seen a few of these they under 5K don’t know if it’s worth it, I worked in the restaurant industry for 3 years after I left high school 8 years ago and I loved but I was going to college to be a nurse , now I am looking into returning to restaurants industry but no one is willing to hire me.

    Hey Jenny, there's an online school called Rouxbe, who are based in Canada but teach certification chef courses online to students anywhere in the world for only around $1000. This is what I'm doing, I very much wanted to attend the Cordon Blue but couldn't justify the $30k+ and it's even more for CIA and Apicius in Italy. I hope this helps, good luck.

    I work remote job-site catering entry level. We cant find Bakers and when we do they are 50+ and wanted at multiple camps. With my eyes at ground level I am seeing a brain drain and an aging labour pool. I am in my late 20s and seeing an oppurtunity here to take a course in baking. I make good money even at my position which makes me feel comfortable to take a course and work back in town part-time. I have connections in the industry plus potential apprentice oppurtunities if I take the course. It is something I seriously am considering, even though ive been in denial for nearly a decade if working in resteraunts was "transitional" and worth taking seriously xD

    Well I'm not going to lie it's not great to go to college for 4 years for culinary school unless you're mixing it up with like a hospitality degree and have a minor in culinary arts. I go to school here in Buffalo New York is called professional culinary academy the loan network is taking I was about a thousand nine hundred dollars and that's the totality that we have to pay. So if you have a state where the education is very expensive please come to New York we have Rochester New York we have Buffalo New York and we have Syracuse new york. Are part of the states where is a little bit cheaper to live in New York City and you could come and get your education and go home. I'm only going to culinary school for service safe. I have 11 years in The culinary industry. So I have a lot of experience.

    I'm just starting my first year at community college for culinary arts. I'd recommend trying to join a cooking class at your high school. If not try to get a job in the kitchen and see if you enjoy it. I'm having a really fun time and the time flies by at school and in the kitchen. It's a really great time for new chefs because a lot of places are looking for line Cooks due to covid so you won't be stuck at prep all day or washing dishes.

    well you should watch the video he answers it. you should just get a job in a restaurant its easy to walk into cooking right now even if you start as a dishwasher after 2 weeks of getting used to the flow you can then get ahead on your work and say hey I'm out of dishes can I peel some vegetables or something you have to be ok with that kinda stuff even if you are a chef one day you may need to do stuff like peel 100lbs of potato's or carrots depending on cuisine obviously. its a hard job. I walked into line cooking I liked the rush but the person prepping for me never had enough things ready so in that case a lot of the time i had to let things run long just to make a bottle of sauce or cut parchment paper for ovens stuff like that gets really annoying especially when you have 25 orders you need to work on that's one annoyance with being a cook but places where your the prep cook and line cook would get rid of that but then your working 10-12 hours a day minimum some places let you take breaks but no one else takes breaks that makes you feel bad when you may take a break not everywhere feeds you either stay away from those places if possible every restaurant should have family meal

    $150,000-$200,00 for a Culinary school in the US is ridiculous. If you are from the US many places around the world will offer you these courses for far less and that doesn't even cover the flight costs. Australia Canada and multiple places in Europe that will also help more when getting a job

    Well you have to balance it. If you take too many credits and work too many hours the burnout WILL bite you in the ass. What works for me for example is taking 8-10 units (usually two STEM classes bc that’s my major) and work no more than 30 hours. This is me at a community college though, if you’re at a uni maybe just go all in with the school and study everyday to not get much debt and do well in classes. It all come down to effort and consistency
