JP is an interesting case. Classically trained, moved to NYC and hung out with the culinary hot shots but never had a place of his own and then only a short while in later life. Worked for Howard Johnson ( I want to believe that he invented the top-loading hot dog bun) and did TV stuff. Wrote good books. Beloved.
Outside of the accent, who is more accomplished him or Puck or Flay (or Garten for that matter)?
