What is a one-sentence summary of the following article?
At school, you'll learn how to cook food, make sauces, and source ingredients. Most culinary schools also teach traditional French techniques. This will set the foundation you need for a career in food. Top culinary schools include the Culinary Institute of America in the USA, Two Bordelais in France, and Castello di Vicarello in Italy. Before you can even consider becoming an Iron Chef, you'll need real-world experience cooking food in a restaurant. This usually means applying and getting a job as a line cook before getting promoted to a higher position in the kitchen. Look for jobs in your area on popular job boards or visit local restaurants and ask the manager if they need any help in the kitchen. Many times you'll also be tasked with prepping and cleaning the kitchen. Before you become an executive chef you'll need years of experience being a sous chef, otherwise known as the second in command. As a sous chef, you'll be tasked with preparing dishes, managing staff, and ordering supplies. There are many responsibilities as a sous chef and everyone other than the executive chef will view you as their superior in the kitchen. Once you get experience working in a kitchen for a couple of years as a sous chef and have the ability to create your own recipes, you can apply to become an executive chef. Being an executive chef means you'll set the menu, source the ingredients, manage cooks, and create the recipes for the food. You'll have to lead and set the example for other people in the kitchen. This is an incredibly intense and stressful job that requires a lot of work, dedication, and long hours. All of the Iron Chefs that are on the show own multiple restaurants around the world. To be at their caliber, you'll also have to own at least one renowned restaurant. Awards like a Michelin Star and James Beard Award designate some of the most talented chefs and best restaurants in the world. Winning either of these awards will boost your notoriety as a chef and give you the credentials you need to be on top cooking shows. There are also other awards you can win from websites like Eater and other local and regional cooking awards. Michelin Star award nominees are selected by visits from an anonymous inspector. To earn a James Beard award you or your restaurant must be nominated for one. You can nominate yourself.
