Culinary School Fail

The other day I was in the midst of running piles of errands in Manhattan and had a sudden craving for fast food. Wendy's to be specific. What can I say, I like their chili.

 

So I'm sitting there with my side salad and small chili, filled to the brim with hot sauce and crackers, when I see a trio of people with chef's hats and jackets come in, obviously from some local cooking school. 

Now obviously my snobbishness is a bit hypocritical at this point, seeing as I'm scarfing down a junior bacon cheese burger, but really, you're going to a cooking school and you've opted for WENDY'S for your lunch break? Come on!

But okay, I thought, maybe these folks were running short on time and just needed to eat something quickly. Entirely possible. Perhaps I'm being too quick to judge...

Except that as I was leaving, the rest of the class piled into the restaurant. Obviously this was a regular lunch destination for these future chefs.

So to whatever cooking school is located near West 14th Street in Manhattan: you FAIL.

Though I suppose this answers my question of where in the world they get cooking reality show contestants from...
