A. This article in the New York Times shows what happens to many -- but not all -- culinary school graduates. Warning, it's depressing. I've pasted some of it here. Rick Park wanted to be a chef. So ... he enrolled in culinary school. Two years after graduation ... Mr. Park makes $10.50 an hour at a bistro in Austin best known for its French fries, trying to pay down his student loans. While he dodges phone calls from the bank, his mother helps him make his $705 monthly payments, almost twice his weekly take-home pay. ''I wouldn't wish this on anyone.

Best way to make chicken cordon bleu?
Q. I just made mine last night, I got the recipe online. But it didn't turn out looking like cordon bleu lol. It was more like reverse cordon bleu. It was still good though, I just wanted it to really look like one. On the recipe, it had me use flour & paprika to cover the chicken. Should I use breadcrumbs instead? It was so hard to seal each chicken w/ ham & SWISS using a toothpick. Any other way to cook it? I would also like to use less fat (I used half butter & half extra virigin olive oil instead of full butter).

A. The Le Cordon Bleu campus in San Francisco has the same programs as the other campuses in the US. If you go for a tour you will see everything is branded with the Le Cordon Bleu logo and so will your qualifications. It is a matter of politics and licensing that it hasn't changed its name. Call the school and organize a visit :)

What would you serve with Chicken Cordon Bleu?
Q. I'm having lunch catered for my board and they're serving Chicken Cordon Bleu; what sides would go best with this? I'm leaning towards a rice pilaf but having trouble deciding on a veggie.
Asked by Kim P - Fri Jan 4 11:30:41 2008 - Cooking & Recipes - 13 Answers - Comments

A. Green Beans with almonds is a safe bet. The smell of asparagus (suggested by others) would be great as long as everyone in attendance LIKES asparagus. Otherwise the smell of asparagus can be overwhelming and overtake the waft of the Cordon Bleu which should be the highlight of the meal. Carrots are an ok suggestion, but might look a little bland with the Cordon Bleu and the rice. I suggest the green beans to add a little balance of color to the meal.
