A Cross-Cultural Culinary Experience in Houston
by BJ Fairfax CulinaryEd Columnist May 21, 2007 For residents of Houston, Texas, sampling sizzling local cuisine is just one part of the Houston experience. For students planning to attend Houston culinary schools, however, it can be an integral part of your culinary education. While most formal culinary programs teach basic cooking techniques, sampling a wide array of regional cuisines can add a whole new level to the educational experience. Cooking Up Amazing Cuisine in Houston Close to the port cities of Galveston and New Orleans, as well as the inland cities of San Antonio and Goliad, Houston stands at a culinary crossroads, with local cuisine incorporating elements of French, Creole, Spanish, and even native dishes. Considered alongside Houston's large population—about 2 million potential diners—Houston's diverse traditions offer an abundance of restaurant experience to supplement all the theory and technique available from Texas culinary schools. Culinary Variety a Career Booster From tapas and gazpacho to jambalaya and crawfish salad—and don't forget that legendary Texas beef and barbecue—Houston is home to more than 11,000 restaurants. From four-star eateries to authentic hole-in-the-wall establishments, Houston culinary school students have lots of options when it comes to supplementing their formal culinary educations with real life dining experiences. Perhaps even more importantly, however, they have the pick of the litter when it comes to culinary careers post culinary school. Houston Beyond Culinary Education Besides diverse eating options, Houston culinary students benefit from all the amenities of a major metropolitan area, including museums, nightclubs, sports arenas, parks, and more. Known as the Bayou City for the numerous waterways filtering through this Texas-sized town, Houston has a flavor all its own.
