    Default Fav. Celeb Chef...

    Who is it?

    Martha Stewart?

    Gordon Ramsey?

    The Collective Cast of "The Chew" (Michael Symon, Daphne Oz, Carla Hall, Clinton Kelly & Mario Battali)?

    Rachael Ray?

    Giada de Laurentiis, Paula Deen, Sunny Anderson, Bobby Flay, Pat & Gina Neely?

    Or someone else?

    Personally, The cast of "The Chew" has become my favorite - not only for the variety of their recipes, but much of what they cook is more on my level as far as my taste in food in general. And the show itself is always highly entertaining.

    I've bought & downloaded a couple of Rachael Ray's cookbooks and only a small handful of her recipes have been what I would consider to be "good". Same with Bobby Flay - I think his strength is grilling, but there's only a few recipes of his that I actually really like.

    Nigella Lawson, obviously.

    But seriously, uh, dunno. I don't watch that kinda stuff often. I do like Gordon Ramsay, but not when he's on his own swear-happy TV show. I like him on his live Christmas show, which tends to be a more interesting and entertaining thing to have on TV than... well, anything else on Christmas Day. It's become a normal thing for Danielle and I to have him on throughout.
    Bow before the mighty Javoo!

    Obvious choice.

    Been watching Hell's Kitchen for almost ten years, and I love Kitchen Nightmares. MasterChef, I'm addicted to.

    Michael Symon. I only know who that is thanks to my mom. I don't pay much attention to celebrity chefs.

    I find Gordon Ramsay quite handsome.

    He was sooo cute in MasterChef Home cooks with Christine Ha(He?).. The blind chef. He had major googly eyes over her and her cooking the entire season.

    Gordon Ramsey is smurfing brilliant. I also like Andrew Zimmern, he's the host of Bizarre Foods.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    Yep, this. I want some smurfing entertainment out of my chef if I'm going to watch him make food that I don't get to eat.

    I love the look of utter digust on his face whenever someone screws up. He looks genuinely disgusted by their failure.

    I thought of Barefoot Contessa, but I couldn't remember her name... Ina Garten, isn't it?

    And Buddy Valastro - from Cake Boss.. He had "Kitchen Boss" on TLC for a short while and his stuff was good. I try to get into Ann Burrell (sp?), I have one of her cookbooks on my phone, but there isn't much that appeals to me. Guy Fieri is another that's more on my level.

    Debbie... Mazar - the actress.. The like 2 times I've gotten to see her show on the Cooking Channel, she had good stuff.

    EDIT: Ramsey has had his wife and children (and mother-in-law I think) on Hell's Kitchen - both as taste testers for a challenge and as a surprise for challenge winners. He's actually very different with them than he is with the contestants. I think that how angry he gets really shows how much he cares about his profession as a major chef - he accepts nothing less than what he thinks is the best and if what a potential chef has made -isn't- the best, he has no qualms calling it out.
