In terms of going to school to be a chef or work in the hospitality industry those are two different things. In terms of being a chef make sure you have already worked in a kitchen. Make sure it is a passion before you decide to make it a career. Once you know you love it and are ready for the daily grind the premier culinary school is the Culinary Institute of America (CIA). The only people who will disagree are those who didn't go there.
In terms of hospitality education there are a lot of great 4- year schools you can get your bachelors in hospitality management from.
Best of both worlds is to go get your 4-year bachelors degree in hospitality management then enroll in the accelerated culinary arts program at CIA.
