A good culinary school can probably teach you better about how to
manage a restaurant than a good business school. After all, it's not
a secret that the management is primary for a successful restaurant,
the food being secondary.

Changing the subject slightly, there is another path to successful
restaurant management. Someone I know didn't go to culinary school,
but instead managed to get flunky jobs at many of the best restaurants
in the US. Each time he started at the bottom and managed to work
himself up a little way. He managed to glean enough knowledge and
skills from the chefs that he is now very successful.
