Comments on: Breakers Master Sommelier Teaching in Orlando http://www.jannorris.com/food-people/breakers-master-sommelier-teaching-in-orlando/ Food, Restaurants, Recipes and Pre-Disney Florida Tue, 07 Sep 2010 18:37:02 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: David Korbhttp://www.jannorris.com/food-people/breakers-master-sommelier-teaching-in-orlando/comment-page-1/#comment-883 David Korb Wed, 26 Aug 2009 22:15:17 +0000 http://www.jannorris.com/?p=1525#comment-883 It is ashamed that anonymous comments of a negative nature can be posted to a publication without verification. The decision to close the Orlando school was strictly related to the economy. If you look at the Yelp website or the Facebook postings, you will see that PCI of Silicon Valley, continues to be the premier choice for a world class culinary education at an affordable price. Not a single PCI culinary staff member in California has been let go, and the enthusiasm for providing a truly career focused education in a state of the art facility has never been greater. We invite people to see for themselves. Compare PCI to any other culinary school and we are confident who you will choose. Our graduates appreciate the individual attention they receive in our small classes and enjoy the reputation of being their "best trained graduates" by restaurant owners from California to New York.

Apologies for the anonymity, but considering the attitude and personal attacks some of my colleagues received for even mentioning the troubles PCI is in, I prefer to violate my own ethics and appear less credible over having my employed called or paperwork “lost”.
