I know it's been a long time since I was in the Chicago area but wow! Kendal has a Culinary Arts Program? My how things have changed. To give you an idea of what I had to choose from while there it was either JJC (Joliet Jr College) or COD (College of DuPage). Then again not a lot of exposure to the JW or NECI programs for us Chicagoans. Speaking of which.... Anyone out there that was in the COD program in the very early 80's with George Macht as the coordinator? Not intending to hi-jack things shroomgirl just curious.
