Can Bravo please stop calling people "self-taught" just because they didn't go to a culinary school? If one worked under a senior chef in a restaurant, that is training via apprenticeship. In the past, it was just about the only way chefs trained.
Gordon Ramsay never went to a culinary school; he trained under a number of established senior chefs. Neither I—or I think he—would refer to him as "self-taught."
