Brian, Amy and I returned this afternoon from Wildcat Weekend at Johnson & Wales University's Denver campus. When we sent in our registration and deposit, I was a bit annoyed that we had to pay what I thought was a lot of money just for what typically is a boring time on campus. Wow, was I ever wrong! Although we're suffering from "information overload," it was well worth the money we spent and I'm certain there was no profit for the school. Our expenses were covered all weekend from two nights stay in the Doubletree Hilton to fabulous meals in restaurants operated by J & W graduates...Italian (Cinzetti's) the first night and French (Le Central) last night. Talk about fabulous! I was a bit leery about both places and ended up a huge fan. The food was outstanding both nights. It was fun for the potential students to see what they can achieve with a degree from J & W if they work hard. We met current students and administrators and every single one of them clearly love the school. Their enthusiasm was contagious and even Brian remarked that he wishes he could enroll! Amy can hardly wait for fall to arrive so she can move onto the campus. She came away excited and eager about her future at J & W...no hesitation at all, and that's exciting for all of us. Yep, we'll soon be saying "Yes Chef!!" when she comes home and orders us out of her kitchen!
