Michigan Culinary Arts: Find Career Opportunities in Restaurant Management

Executive chefs in Michigan's casinos and hotels are responsible for all food services, including banquets and the hotel's in-room dining operations. The restaurant management career comes with daily stresses, but the financial reward can be considerable: The Bureau of Labor Statistics states that top chefs (the highest 10 percent of the salary ladder) earned a median salary of $64,550 in 2007. While no chef training program can guarantee a particular salary, hiring managers generally prefer to hire chefs who are trained at accredited culinary arts schools.

Culinary Arts and Fine Wine in Michigan

Detroit's culinary arts scene finds its heart in the city's casinos, including MotorCity and MGM Grand Detroit. MotorCity Casino features the opulent Iridescence restaurant, which was until recently led by Michael Russell--one of only 61 American Culinary Federation-certified master chefs in the United States.

On the other side of fine dining, Michigan's wine country extends beyond large cities such as Detroit and Grand Rapids, MI. The state's $100 million industry includes 50 licensed wineries that produce approximately 357,000 cases each year. Many establishments have tasting rooms, restaurants, cafes, and shops. If you're a wine aficionado, this might be a great venue to flex your new culinary or restaurant management muscles.
