“History, terminology, calculating COGS, profit margins, profit/loss, product waste—there’s so much more to learn than just cooking. I’m already winning contests, and I built my own restaurant. I fast-tracked myself…and I really feel like Escoffier was a huge part of that.”*
Lance McWhorter, Escoffier Graduate, Executive Chef/Owner at Culture ETX, Food Network “Chopped” Contestant, Cochon 555 Competition Winner, Military Veteran

“The instructors are like rock stars. They truly care about you as a student and as a person. I opened a food truck while enrolled, and the long hours had me falling behind in my classes. My instructor called me personally, and we worked on balancing the schoolwork with my work schedule, AND she helped me with great advice for my business. If you’re thinking about culinary school–DO IT!”*
