California Living--and Eating--in Sunny Santa Ana


	California Living--and Eating--in Sunny Santa Ana by BJ Fairfax CulinaryEd Columnist October 01, 2007 A short stretch from the Pacific Ocean--less than 10 miles—with the largest population of any city in Orange County, Santa Ana is the place to enjoy California living while attending local culinary schools. Besides the city’s close proximity to the ocean, it’s large, diverse population makes for a wide range of eating experiences outside the classrooms of culinary programs. As potential chefs consider the city in which to attend culinary school, Santa Ana should not be overlooked, especially if sunshine, great weather, and West Coast cuisine appeal to you. Culinary Schools in Santa Ana Students who attend culinary programs in Santa Ana should be prepared to dine on some of the tastiest collisions of West Coast dishes and traditional Mexican cuisine, as Santa Ana is home to the largest Hispanic population of the 50 largest cities in America--75 percent. With a location so close to the Pacific Ocean, much of the food in Santa Ana benefits from fresh fish. The abundance of produce grown in Southern California doesn’t hurt either, and locally grown and even organic fruits and vegetables shouldn’t be hard to find, in the grocery stores or in the restaurants of Santa Ana. The Santa Ana Farmers Market, held every Wednesday from 3 to 7 p.m. at the corner of 3rd and Bush streets, should be a great place for students of culinary programs to get a feel for the tastes of Southern California. Santa Ana Fun When they’re not learning in the classrooms of Santa Ana culinary schools or learning outside the classroom in one of Santa Ana’s many great restaurants, students of culinary programs have lots of options for fun. From the Bowers Museum and the Santa Ana Zoo to the Galaxy Theatre and the warm beaches of the West Coast, participants of Santa Ana culinary programs should find that boredom is scarce.
