First off I want to say hello to everyone. I'm 26 and want to go to culinary school next year. In TN we just got a culinary program called the Art Institute of Tennessee Nashville. I've had people tell me that school name matters. The Art Institute and CIA in New York cost about the same but I need to get feedback from chefs that are already in the field. So please help me this is a big chage. Do you have any suggestions?
