Atlanta Cooking Schools – Master “New” Southern Cuisine
by BJ Fairfax CulinaryEd Columnist June 11, 2007 For Southern cooking in a sophisticated city, Atlanta opens its arms to students considering culinary programs in the area. Residents of this down south hot spot not only enjoy a combination of Southern charm and city edge, but they also are in the midst of tremendous, prolonged growth. Atlanta's Growth Spurt Boosts Culinary Scene According to the City of Atlanta's official Web site, the population of Atlanta itself has remained consistently around 420,000, but the general Atlanta metro population has grown by almost 40 percent in the past 10 years, from approximately 2.9 million to 4.1 million people. The growth spurt in Atlanta over the last decade has helped this Georgia town become a prime example of New South—a buzzing metropolitan hub that still cherishes its Southern roots and traditions. Of course, a growing Southern city not only can translate to more job opportunities and economic growth, but also the proliferation of a wonderful array of culinary options. In Atlanta, even traditional, mouth-watering fried chicken can gain a sophisticated city edge. Culinary Programs Offer Opportunities in Atlanta For an opportunity to be a part of the growing, changing traditions of the New South, consider attending culinary schools in the Atlanta area. Students of Atlanta culinary programs have a chance to live in a thriving city and taste the flavorful blend of old Southern charm and new, innovative tastes. Upon graduation from Atlanta culinary programs, students should find the area's strong growth to be a boon for job opportunities, continued education, and climbing the culinary career ladder.
