International Culinary Center
History
The International Culinary Center was founded by Dorothy Cann Hamilton in 1984 as the French Culinary Institute. When the school first opened, it was visited by chef Julia Child, who reportedly arranged to have the school profiled on Good Morning America one week later.
In 2020, the International Culinary Center combined with the Institute of Culinary Education, citing issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic for its closure.
Locations
The International Culinary Center had two campuses, one in New York City and the other in the San Francisco Bay area. The New York City location included the L'Ecole restaurant on the ground floor as well as a Culinary Theater that hosted events, forums, and lectures from graduates. The International Culinary Center was also home to FCI Catering & Events, which created and catered both on- and off-premises private events. Its California location opened in 2011 in Campbell, in the San Francisco Bay Area. The facilities consisted of kitchens, a library, theaters, an event space and a wine tasting room. The facility was the former location of the Professional Culinary Institute.
