who has taken a good culinary school that can help me out?


who has taken a good culinary school that can help me out?
i have been looking around for culinary schools and found the San Francisco California Culinary Academy. i read up on it, and they had a really good rep, but ever since they were taken over by a bigger corporation, they became a trap that only sucks students in for their money! does it really deceive you? i set up a tour for that school but i hear its really crap and that they only tell you what you want to hear and they let just anybody in and they tell you that you will become the best, but i read in some articles that is it not true. my dream is to become a chef and open my own restaurant. is there any very good culinary colleges that people reaccomend that DONT deceive you and actually teaches you how to become a chef? and what is the charge, requirements, and info on those schools? i am 17, a senior living in northern california. i really prefer good culinary colleges in california or oregon. please email me if you would like to help me out!

There are several very reputable colleges for culinary arts but by far the two most famous are the Culinary Institute of American (in NY) and Johnson & Wales University - (campuses in a few cities, I think they have one in Denver) These are both fully accredited schools. J&W has a full business school and a full hotel/hospitality school that gives Bachelor and Masters Degrees, and I even think they have some Doctoral degrees (not in Culinary) I had a tour of the J&W Providence campus a few years ago and it was very impressive. I'm sure CIA is just as impressive. These are real schools that have granted thousands of degrees to culinary students and have graduates operating restaurants all over the world. Emeril is J&W graduate and I see his name in the paper every few months when he comes back to visit. These schools will teach you everything you need to know in order to not only be an expert chef, but also, to be the manager of a successful business in the food industry. Check them out online, they would be happy to send you information....
