if you want to really do this. first no that a working kitchen is no where near as glamarus as Food network. a kitchen is full of stress. get a job in a kitchen to see if you really like it, do that for at least a year and then look into culanary school.

if you are going to Jr. college look and see if they have a culanary program there

also know that you dont start working as a chef after you get out of school. it all takes time

+1! Even if you graduate from a culinary school,it doesnt mean you'll get to be a "Chef" when you apply for a job.Most employers look for years of experience.
