Georgia's Culinary Arts Schools Offer Down Home Cooking Training

For some good old Southern cooking, you can't do better than Georgia. From Savannah to Athens to Atlanta, Georgia offers a wide variety of cuisine for you to taste and study. Chef training in the state can include anything from "plantation country cuisine" to a cooking apprenticeship at an award-winning restaurant.

Georgia: A Burgeoning Culinary Hotspot

As the ninth most populous metropolitan area in the U.S., Atlanta offers a tremendous variety of both culture and restaurant choices. The city's population has grown 21 percent in the last few years, the highest percentage among the top-ten metro areas. And it boasts the world's largest drive-in restaurant, the Varsity. What more could a cook-in-training want?

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS,) a national surge in population like the one experienced in Atlanta, is contributing to an increase in jobs in the hospitality and food services industries. In fact, the field is expected to grow by 13 percent through 2016. This means those who have attended a culinary institute or taken cooking classes should be in a better position to get a strong foothold in the industry.

Georgia: Culinary Arts Outlook

Although Georgia wages for restaurant managers, cooks, and chefs fall slightly below the national average, many cities and towns throughout the state have a low cost of living. In Savannah, for instance, you can find a cost of living 11 percent lower than the U.S. average.

Whether you desire to find your place in hotel and restaurant management or as a chef at a popular restaurant, chef training, cooking classes, and overall career training through a culinary arts school can help get you to where you want to be.
