I love food. I love to cook, bake, and even go grocery shopping. I seem to always have the Food Network on my TV. I love getting ideas for a meal! (I will let Dudealicious answer what wine to pair with the meal!)
Thinking about the top chefs, who would you like to spend some time with?
That can be as innocent as learning how to cook something, just a chit chat over a meal, or getting a bit naughty with?
None of the media chefs for me thanks. I was/am classically trained, spending time in Le Cordon Bleu in Paris in the late 80s as well as 3 other schools in the 90s and don't really care for what they are and what they stand for. A few of them like to say they attended "culinary" schools and I get a smile out of that.
If I could I would spend some time with Auguste Escoffier as well as Antoine Careme. They are the fathers of fine cooking to me. As for media chefs, before she was one, Julia was a fantastic cook from what I've seen and heard. So it would be interesting to meet her.
I want little Miss and chef catering my next party.
I heard they bring girls out of cakes and everything!
Of course not Yahtzee. This is a good time. I can see why some of the people would want to spend time with Giada De Laurentiis. Her grandpa was a famous director. Plus she's really pretty. She's known as the boob chef cause of the clothes she wears.
Paula Deen just cracks me up. She is what she is. Take her or leave her. Seems like a fairly normal southern cook. Her back story is interesting too.
There was one a few years ago. I can't remember his name. He was forced off the air, I think he was mostly PBS, for "handling" young boys. Or something like that. But was supposed to be a hell of a cook.
btw, I am by no means a "top chef". But thanks for the offer.
I saw this post and had to post. I do all the cooking in the house, by choice, and learned from the best....my Italian Mom. I have however had the privaledge to meet Bobby Flay (at his MESA Grill in Vegas), and Giada DeLaurentis at a food show in Buffalo, NY, and Rachael Ray in Albany, NY at a nightclub when her husbands' band was playing a gig. When I am not on Lush (or my wife), I am glued to the Food Network. Some names that aren't on the list that could be are: Alton Brown and Claire Robinson. Alton really has to be my favorite, followed by Bobby Flay. Each of the chefs (btw, Rachael Ray is actually NOT a chef, by trade) have their own personalities, so it really is difficult to pick the TOP Chef!

You're thinking of Jeff Smith who did a show called "The Frugal Gourmet." He wrote a number of cookbooks as well, most, or maybe all of them with "Frugal Gourmet," somewhere in the title. He left PBS in 1997 after being accused of sexual abuse of teenage boys.

Gino" D'Acampo - He's an Italian chef on UK TV. He's really irreverent plus he's hawt(smiles)
Hmmm good thread...
For current tv personality chefs, I'd like to hang with Guy Fieri
For good ol' southern food, give me Paula Deen
For quality Cajun food, I'll take Paul Prudhomme or Justin Wilson or John Folse
For sex, I'll take Chef Kathleen...oops, that doesn't belong here.
For the most part the cooking that really hits me where it counts; in the stomach. My mom's chicken and dumplings. My dad's brisket. In fact, just about anything my dad cooks is as good as most any meal I've had in any restaraunt.
When the debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the loser. Socrates Good 'ol Justin. My husband has a skydiving buddy that's Cajun. Sounds so much like him.hgYYXrL8WuFurngR
