No, we’re not talking future farmers of America. We’re talking future chefs of America. The Young Chefs Academy in Fort Worth, Texas is holding its grand opening today, Jan. 19, 2008.
The hottest craze for kids these days will soon be cooking up success at the new Young Chefs Academy located at 6333 Camp Bowie Blvd. Suite 260, Fort Worth. The school will hold its grand opening on Saturday, January 19, 2008, at 1-4 PM, with President and Chief Chef Melissa Weiner bringing fun back into the kitchen.
Young Chefs Academy is a cooking school designed especially for kids 3-18 years old. The grand opening, with hands-on cooking by youth, will be open to the public and the media at the new facility, which just completed major renovations to be suitable for the YCA.
“Whether a child becomes a scientist, educator, worker in a factory or business, a mother and wife or husband and father, or any other position, skilled and safe cooking will be critical for quality of life and family happiness.”
Weiner said that Young Chefs Academy has grown from a weekend-only operation, with founders Suzy Nettles (a Fort Worth native, who will attend Weiner’s opening) and Julie Burleson conducting classes and parties, to a quickly growing franchise throughout the country with over 180 cooking schools across 27 states.
