Western Culinary Institute: Prepare For Your Culinary Career

As Americans' tastes for fine cuisine grew in the 1980's, so too did the demand for professionally trained chefs. In 1983, two Portland businessmen, Horst Mager (locally famous for his Rheinlander restaurant and yearly Oktoberfest celebration) and Donald Waldbauer, teamed up to establish Western Culinary Institute. Western Culinary Institute, originally called the Horst Mager Culinary Institute, and its quality hands-on curriculum attracted students from all over the United States as well as many countries around the world.
