Inevitably I think it must be Heston Blumenthal for he is provoking so much passion about the food he serves.

It is irrelevant whether you feel he is the best chef in the country, second best or even the worst. He is stirring up a debate on our preconceptions about dining and food combination.  

A meal at the Fat Duck is of course not compulsory like water rates or income tax so I have only limited sympathy for those who hate his ideas as they are all well reported in advance by those both for and against.

And it does provide a bit of excitement
