I believe a mixture of both formal school and an apprenticeship program is what I would like to see in a young cook/chef.
: I am a 21 year old currently working in the industry.
: I have 7 months experience now and the restaurant
: I am currently working at has recently joined with the
: apprenticeship program. I had planned on attending
: SAIT next fall, but the executive chef at my restaurant
: is trying to convince me to apprentice. what should I
: do? This restaurant has the potential to be one of the
: best in Western Canada, and the chef is excellent, but I
: haven't been able to hear an unbiased opinion. I am
: also fluent in French and have thought about
: apprenticing in France. Could someone please offer me
: some suggestions as to what I should do.
