you are never too old to go to school. i would be willing
to bet you are much younger than i am. i am 56yo. as soon
as the legal nightmares come to their respective conclusion
i will be going to a culinary school. i may not be able to
find a line cook position but i will have the training for
my own satisfaction.

i have still not decided on which culinary program to attend.
i have the possible programs pruned down to 4.

the international culinary school at the illinois institute of
art, chicago, illinois
http://www.aii.edu

institute of culinary arts
robert morris college,
aurora, illinois
http://www.robertmorris.edu

culinard, the culinary arts institute of virginia college
birmingham, alabama
http://www.culinard.com

the new england culinary institute
montpelier, vermont
http://www.neci.edu

i am leaning toward culinard.
