Culinary Arts: the Hot New Career for Teens?



ATLANTA (Wireless Flash) – It might sound half-baked but it looks like the hot new career for teens is cooking – on TV, that is. According to Jeff Durosko, representative for the U.S.-wide Art Institute’s culinary arts program, teens are burning up to become the next celebrity chef, thanks to popular cooking shows like The Naked Chef. Aspiring Emerils will have a chance to show their (pork) chops at the upcoming Art Institute National Cook-off, which pits teen chefs against each other in hopes of winning a full-paid scholarship to the Institute. However, Durosko admits the contest, which hosts its finals on May 10 in Atlanta, won’t exactly let kids follow their muse – they all have to cook the same exact steak dinner.
