Culinary Schools in Jacksonville

For students in culinary school, Jacksonville is one ideal location. The gorgeous Atlantic-coast seaside city is paradise for snowbirds: subtropical climate, wide beaches, fantastic golf courses and much more. For foodies, it's also a great place to be. Thanks to the area's fresh seafood and abundance of tropical fruits, chefs rarely have to cook with frozen crab or use orange concentrate when making fruity cocktails. Jacksonville also has its local specialties, such as Mayport shrimp, along with its share of popular food festivals. The Soul Food Festival, for example, takes place in November every year while the Jacksonville Craft and Import Beer Festival takes over the city's Memorial Arena in May.

Why Culinary School: Jacksonville Seafood, Restaurants, and Culinary Careers

The thriving restaurant business is an ideal sector for those willing to work hard. Many successful chefs have had some sort of formal culinary education, even though it's not required. According to May 2011 data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, chefs and head cooks working in Jacksonville earned a mean annual wage of $46,700. The National Restaurant Association forecasts a 15.8 percent increase in employment in Florida restaurants during the next decade.
