<p>I am looking for a traditional 4 year school that has made a name for itself that has good culinary preparation services because it is my dream to own and be head chef in my own restraunt.
Any advice would be appreciated.</p>
<p>Johnson and Wales. I would also look at Cornell hotel school. Not a place to learn to cook, but one to learn how to run a successful restaurant which is probably more important.</p>
<p>Culinary Institute of America in Poughkeepsie New York is the best that I know of. You earn a degree, live on campus, and learn to cook and manage a restaurant. Good luck. Its a challenging career but can be very rewarding for the uber talented.</p>

<p>Paul Smith’s in the Adirondacks has both two year & 4 year programs in their Hospitality School. Nice location too!</p>
