Hyde Park, NY – The
path to becoming president of the world’s premier culinary college can take
many twists and turns. Although he has been at the helm of The Culinary
Institute of America since 2001, Tim Ryan didn’t set out to become its
president. Heritage Radio Network’s program recently spent almost an hour chatting with Dr.
Ryan, a CIA graduate who, in addition to holding an Ivy League doctorate, is a
Certified Master Chef and Culinary Olympic champion.
Find out what he really wanted to be in life, before his
culinary career took him around the world and then back to his alma mater.
During his discussion with host Shari Bayer, Dr. Ryan also shares recent and
future CIA educational innovations and offers his take on the food issues of
the day.
The Brooklyn-based Heritage Radio Network produces dozens of
weekly radio shows and podcasts about the food, beverage, and hospitality
industry.
