Mom Knows Best

Why would a nationally acclaimed chef send her son to the Arizona Culinary Institute?

At ACI, Chef Silvana Salcido Esparza knows her son will get more hands-on experience, smaller class sizes and personalized instruction—benefits the national chain schools can’t match. She also knows ACI students enjoy a quicker pace and higher job placement rate.

How does Chef Silvana know all this? The chefs who founded ACI are the ones who taught her, so she knows firsthand, at ACI her son will gain the foundation he needs to pursue his passion. He’ll get the skills necessary to thrive in any kitchen—even one as demanding as hers.

If you love to cook, it’s time to indulge your passion. Schedule a tour to learn more, or fill out an application for admission now. Don’t wait, spaces are limited.
