I've decided to compile a list of establishments that offer good career prospects for newly minted chefs. These are places that foster excellence in the art of making food, and while you might want to strike me down for having the temerity to think that great chefs like Hélène Darroze or Thomas Keller might accept little old me into their kitchens, this list at least gives me something to aspire to.
