Exquisite Culinary Sophistication in Rugged Nevadaby Sonja Albrecht Nevada is the nation’s economic success story: this arid desert state has built a $600 billion per year industry out of tourism alone, and is experiencing a population surge as a result. This is good news for those of you considering chef college or restaurant management school in Nevada. Nevada supports five thousand restaurants, and the Bureau of labor Statistics predicts a 37% increase in chef and restaurant management jobs through 2012. Las Vegas is the epicenter of Nevada’s culinary scene, home of some of the nation’s finest dining establishments and top chef colleges. Hospitality and restaurant management programs are especially strong in the nation’s tourism capital. In Vegas, you’ll learn and live in a culinary world influenced by famous chefs like Bradley Ogden, Wolfgang Puck, and Andre Rochat. Along with world-class cuisine, Nevada chef college will introduce you to some of the state’s culinary surprises. The influence of the native fare of early Basque immigrants is present in the Basque restaurants that still abound in Nevada, and hearty specialties like chateaubriand and chorizo are featured on menus throughout the state. Sidle up to the bar for a Picon Punch, and learn the first lesson of good restaurant management: warm, welcoming hospitality. You’ll be surprised at the range of activities the Silver State has to offer. In the North, head to the mountains to ski some Sierra powder or kayak on the Truckee. Go horseback riding in Winnemucca. Catch the hottest show in Las Vegas. Strike it rich on the craps table in Reno. Tour a ghost town in Austin or Rhyolite. Chef college in Nevada promises to be a heady adventure, with exceptional cuisine, nightlife, and outdoor recreation right at your fingertips.
