    Home of the Roanoke Island colony, which was the first attempt by the English to settle the United States, North Carolina is a state rich in history and full of scenic beauty. Currently experiencing rapid growth, North Carolina is an excellent place to live for the prospective culinary or hospitality management student.

    Cities such as Charlotte, Raleigh-Durham, Winston, and Asheville all offer unique opportunities for those interested in the food-service industry. Pork barbecue is a culinary tradition in the region, and the Lexington Barbecue Festival draws over 10,000 visitors each year.

    Read, Read and Read Some More

    One of the best suggestions I have for anyone thinking of going to culinary school or just getting into the restaurant industry is to read everything you can get your hands on. Learn from professional chefs who have worked in the industry and those who have taught in culinary schools.

    There are many great books available to get you started in your culinary education and I suggest you read as much as possible before making that big decision to make sure this is the right move for you. Below is just a sample of books you might be interested in checking out.
