I'm curious too. And what effects this has had on the school, since it was my dream school for whenever I do end up going!

First, our school was founded as The French Culinary Institute. We will continue to enjoy our French roots, but have added Italian, Spanish, and Asian programs that have pushed us into new culinary and wine arenas. Additional programs will follow and our new International positioning provides the proper platform for growth.

 

Second, after almost 30 years as a school, we have learned that the sum is greater than the whole of the parts — a Center provides a much more robust learning and networking environment that results in greater success for both those learning at the Center, and those on the outside who engage with one of our business divisions.

 

By creating an environment for culinary and wine thought leadership, we are able to provide our students and businesses with a competitive advantage, and the public with extraordinary culinary and wine experiences.

 

I hope this helps answer your question! Please feel free to call us at 866-318-2433 for more information about the International Culinary Center.

Is Andre Soltner still associated with your school ? He was the best I remember Lutece as one of the best of its time.

I had a display  table next to him at the Old Coliseum in NY at the Hotel Show Culinary Expo Les Amis Escoffier  a long,long time ago.
