Is the culnary program at Le Cordon Bleu Seattle a good one?

I am considering the culinary programs at the Art Institute of Seattle and Seattle Central Community College, both of which seem much more comprehensive than the program at Le Cordon Bleu.

    I don't have any hard data to back this up but I have always heard that the program at Seattle Central Community College is the best in the city.

    The Art Institute of Seattle is more expensive and less respected and I have never heard anything about Le Cordon Bleu, good or bad.

    I would like to second what Dan Williams said. I have been told by multiple people in the industry that the program at Seattle U is much better preperation for working in a kitchen and cheaper.

    I have been working as a prep cook for about six months and everyone that I have worked with that went to Le Cordon Bleu has been, to put it bluntly, pretty worthless. This includes a chef who was forced to resign after they figured out he knew next to nothing about cooking despite having had several high profile gigs and a culinary school education. Another is a recent graduate who brought his full school kit with about fifty different knives and kitchen tools but literally didn't know how to peel a carrot properly. Sorry for the rant.

    Overall, Le Cordon Bleu seems to produce people who think they know a lot than they do and aren't open to learning from others.
