My name is Sarah and I'm a student at the University of Cincinnati. I'm studying biology, but only because I figure it's easier for a biologist to go back to school to become a chef than it is for a chef to go back to school to become a biologist. At least once a month, though, I fantasize about packing up everything I own and heading off to culinary school.
