"My son is three and a half years old, and I didn't want him growing up thinking food was only in fancy restaurants, fast food restaurants, or just an app. I wanted to be my son's chef – and I did something about it," she said.
The something Tyra did was to enroll in the Culinary Institute of America in St. Helena, California, which she tagged as a serious boot camp.
