“The classes are small and it almost feels like you are personally tutored here. The class does a mainline hot lunch four days out of the week at the campus Cafeteria. We practice our recipe skills and get a handle on our execution and timing. I think that anyone who takes this program will pretty much be able to step out on their own at an entry-level position in a restaurant.” Kalen Snipper-Higson, Professional Cook Level Two
