Le Cordon Bleu
Le Cordon Bleu was founded in Paris in 1895, originally launched alongside a culinary magazine of the same name, and it grew into one of the oldest and most internationally recognized culinary education institutions, with its name referencing the "blue ribbon" traditionally associated with excellence. The school became particularly renowned for training in classical French culinary technique, and its instruction methods and terminology helped establish much of the foundational vocabulary and technique still used in professional kitchens worldwide, regardless of a chef's actual cuisine specialty. Le Cordon Bleu gained significant mainstream American visibility after chef Julia Child studied there in the early 1950s before going on to popularize French cooking for American home cooks through her cookbooks and television career, indirectly linking the school to one of the most significant figures in American culinary history. Le Cordon Bleu's combination of its foundational role establishing classical French culinary technique globally and its historical connection to Julia Child has made it one of the most internationally prestigious culinary schools ever established.
VS
Johnson & Wales University
Johnson & Wales University was founded in Providence, Rhode Island in 1914, originally as a business school before adding a culinary arts program in 1973 that eventually grew into one of the largest and most prominent culinary education programs in the United States. The university's College of Culinary Arts distinguished itself by combining culinary training with broader business and hospitality management education, reflecting founder recognition that professional success in food service often requires management and business skills alongside cooking technique. Johnson & Wales expanded its culinary programs to additional campuses beyond Providence, including locations in North Miami, Denver, and Charlotte, growing into one of the largest dedicated culinary and hospitality-focused universities in the country by total enrollment. Johnson & Wales University's combination of its integrated culinary-and-business education model and its growth into one of the largest hospitality-focused universities in the country has made it one of the most significant culinary schools in American higher education.
