Culinary Schools in San Francisco, Oakland and Napa Valley California

Outside of New York, San Francisco is the undisputed king of the culinary arts in America. Iconic eateries like Chez Panisse and The French Laundry have elevated the food scene to near mythic status. There is such a diversity of culinary influences that one cannot state what it typical – which is why food in the Bay Area is a pilgrimage for many. Of the dozen U.S. restaurants awarded a Michelin three-star in 2015, four are in the Bay Area, two in San Francisco. Students attending culinary schools in San Francisco will find endless culinary diversity along with scores of professional opportunities. As of 2015 typical earnings and projected growth for Bay Area restaurant professionals from the California Employment Development Department and the Bureau of Labor Statistics show promise.
