Utah

Planning on becoming a chef in Utah? Good news! Utah is a great place to be a chef. Utah is a unique state--both in its history and its geography--and offers up an unusual culinary history as well. While the entire state is well known for its honey, Salt Lake City is best known for putting that honey into rich tasty butter and then melting it all over massive, plate sized deep fried "scones." Not at all like the scones you see any where else in the world, these massive pieces of fried sweet bread are melt-in-your mouth delicious and are similar to sopapillas and Navajo fry bread. But Utah is also home to many other gastronomic delights, thanks to cooks like Chef Gary Pankow, owner of Cafe Diablo in Torrey, recently profiled by Today Food Editor Phil Lempert on MSNBC. So if you are planning to become a chef in Utah, you will find that you are in good company. Be sure to check out our list of cooking schools below!

The International Culinary School at The Art Institute of Salt Lake City - Draper

Nestled in the Salt Lake Valley at the base of the Wasatch Mountains, Draper is known as one of the top hang gliding areas in the nation. Perfect wind and breathtaking vistas also make the city ideal for skiing, hiking, and horseback riding. Centrally located between Salt Lake City and Provo, Draper has become the hub for new business development in the region while still maintaining the pastoral charm that is its heritage. More Info...
