"Vacationing" at the Culinary Institute of America

This seems to be a weekend for "food" links! I came across this travel story about a vacation spent taking a week-long cooking course at the CIA in Napa Valley, California, and found it an interesting read.

It takes dedication -- or temporary insanity -- to spend one's vacation reporting for kitchen duty at 6:30 a.m. Hours aside, it sounds like a very different and memorable experience.
