Dear Brett,
Great question!
Well yes and no. Yes you can call yourself a Chef but it does not qualify you to be a Chef. What we mean is you can study hard, get good grades, and work hard but it is what you do with that education that really makes you a Chef.
For the no part. We have met many Chefs/cooks that went to the best schools but are totally lost in the real world. A culinary school can give you all the tools that you need, however it is what you do with those tools that really makes you a Chef.
When you graduate from a culinary school do not expect to be a head Chef in the top restaurants unless you have worked for a few years before going to a culinary school and have a great personal knowledge of the culinary field.
If you have any other questions on this please let us know.
Sincerely,
Chef Chat Cafe
