As Americans' taste for fine cuisine grew in the '80s, so did the demand for professionally trained chefs. In 1983, two Portland businessmen, Horst Mager (locally famous for his Rheinlander restaurant and yearly Oktoberfest celebration) and Donald Waldbauer, teamed up to establish Western Culinary Institute. WCI quickly gained a reputation for being one of the nation's outstanding private culinary colleges.
The culinary college was originally called the Horst Mager Culinary Institute, and its quality, hands-on curriculum attracted students from all over the United States, as well as many countries around the world. In 1986, the Institute adopted its corporate name, Western Culinary Institute, to better reflect its geographic location and reputation as a nationally recognized culinary institute.
