I graduated from Paragon in 2014. I now am running a successful food truck. Not only did my cooking skill exponentially grow, I learned how to successfully run a business, manage food costs, develop par lists for best pricing, pair wines with different cuisines (my favorite!), fix dishes when something goes wrong, AND studied many Chefs from a historical perspective for inspiration (starting with Chef Taillevent in 1373!). Outstanding training, and more similar to real world kitchens (which I've worked in as well) than book work! If you want real world kitchen training, Chef Matthews and his over 30 years experience in kitchens, is like a walking encyclopedia, guaranteed to take your overall cooking skill to several levels above where you are now. If you are serious about wanting to be a Chef, and have the tenacity and passion to grow, call Paragon and enroll now!
