PITTSBURGH—Adam Sweetland has cooked for many different types of diners since graduating from IUP Academy of Culinary Arts, the nationally recognized culinary program offered by Indiana University of Pennsylvania in Punxsutawney, in 1998.

It didn’t take him long to realize he wasn’t cut out to follow the traditional path of a culinary student, and work his way up the ladder from line cook to sous chef to executive chef of a fancy restaurant.
