Most
people think they have to enroll in an expensive Culinary School to get
the type of training necessary to open up your own Food business. But
the truth is many famous chefs never went to culinary school, and yet
command top dollar at the finest restaurants. You pay a lot of money,
you learn the basics and you have a lot of fun.
You may even have
a decent job after graduation in a corporate kitchen. But what happens
after? What happens when you try to migrate to a restaurant kitchen in a
busy city or you want to open your own place? You need to truly
understand the food, the processes and begin to grasp instinctively how
to pair product. If your school isn’t teaching you and giving
you the freedom to explore your own creativity, they are failing you.
Almost everyone who applies to a
culinary school gets in. Not everyone is cut out to work in a kitchen,
just as not everyone is cut out to work in microbiology. There are a
lot of students attending culinary school, and a huge
portion are not in the industry five years later. The kitchens are
getting flooded with students who aren’t well trained and have
unrealistic expectations. Most culinary students don’t understand that
school is only one small part of a much larger career plan.
In
short, Culinary schools sell you the dream, Chef Gilmore and Co. will
teach you how to be your OWN boss. This is a 100% hands-on, full
immersion culinary business course. This is not a theory based program. You
will have and create business, industry connections, and pitch
