Faves: 1.) Chef Bourdain (Kitchen Confidential is one of the things that inspired me to want to be a cook) 2.)Thomas Keller (The man astounds me, enough said.) 3.)Suser Lee (Incredibley inspired chef, a man who is doing outstanding things with food and a very inteligent down to earth kind of guy) 4.)Mario Batali (Very interesting, endless food knowledge. Seems to have the same passion for food that i do,and I find that interesting and exiting in anyone.) 5.) Chef Achatz (A rising star and very motivated. Represents Younge Chef's in the buisness *myself being only 19, this inspires me* and he is making beautifull food, saw a picture and the recipe for his Main lobster with wild mushrooms and rosemary vapor in a recent issue of "Bon Appetit" and the presentation was very apealing.) 6.) Bob Blumer( Lots of energy and very creative with his presentation and I have been told that he is a very nice guy in person) Least Faves: 1.) Rachel Raye (For all the reasons everyone else has stated) 2.) Something about Jamie Oliver just bothers me. His recipes usually look interesting, but something just bothers me. Hmmmmm.) 3.)Rocco (He should be ashamed, I hope he got paid alot of money in return for that pesky thing we call a soul.) There we go that's the end of my list.
