what culinary schools in San Francisco are truly the best to study at?

I always wanted to be a chef, and after wasting years pursuing a degree in political science, I have decided to go for it. However, I don't know what school is the best, and I cant visit at this time bc i currently reside in NY. please help :)

1. Congratulations on following your bliss! Believe it or not City College has a good culinary program. http://www.ccsf.edu/Departments/Culinary_Arts-Hospitality_Studies/CAHS_index.html And the best school in the bay area for the culinary is actually a little further north. Greystone in St. Helena has an excellent reputation. http://www.ciachef.edu/california/ But sadly the California Culinary Academy is regarded as little more than a diploma mill. http://www.baychef.com/about.asp You can find out details about this in a series of articles that appeared in the SF Weekly this year. http://www.sfweekly.com/search/search.php?keywords=California+Culinary+Academy&x=15&y=9
