Hi,
It's nice to see your interest in Culinary Arts. My suggestion would be to go for Culinary courses specifically, as you have your dreams specific.
I chose BHM because I wanted to learn all four core departments. If you're doing BHM, it's just a waste of time because you know your specific field of interest and I would suggest you to mould yourself towards it.
Diploma in Culinary Arts will give you basics to all the cuts, preparations, methods of cooking and various other aspects. Culinary Arts doesn't need a degree, it needs experience rather.
And to support your basics, you will need a Culinary degree not full-fledged Hotel Management degree. My suggestion would be courses in Culinary Arts.
I hope this will help you decide your future. All the best.
