So, I finally found a culinary school I could go to that’s pretty near to me.  Culinard-The Culinary Institute of Virginia-is located a mere twenty six miles from my apartment in Birmingham, Alabama.  I actually like Birmingham a lot, though my experience with it may not exactly be vast.  And I know you’re asking yourself, “How can anyone living that close to another major city not be intimately familiar with his surroundings?”  Well, tell yourself this: It happens.

I’ve heard a little about Culinard and the culinary training offered there, but it wasn’t until checking out their website that I really realized what they have.  Their culinary arts degrees, packaged in either a thirty-six week program or online look very similar to what I’m looking for.  I’m a hands-on learner, you see, and while interactivity may not be an exclusive perk of culinary education, a full immersion program is-for lack of a better phrase-just my cup of tea.

I wonder if Emeril had to deal with any of this.
