What about Eric Ripert...? Isn't he supposed to be one of the best?
What about Eric Ripert...? Isn't he supposed to be one of the best?
When it comes to fish, he is the best. Amazingly, his restaurant Le Bernadin has been voted Best Restaurant In NYC for well over 10 years. And there are some great NYC restaurants.
My favorites to watch are Gordon Ramsay, Cajun chefs Paul Prudhomme & Justin Wilson, Anthony Bourdain, Molecular Gastronomist Wylie Dufresne, and Spanish chef Jose Andres. They are all very entertaining.
But as far as who are the best chefs?
Ferran Adrià of El Bulli, in Northern Spain is probably the best chef in the world. From Wiki:
The restaurant has a limited season: the 2010 season, for example, will run from June 15 to December 20. Bookings for the next year are taken on a single day after the closing of the current season. It accommodates only 8,000 diners a season, but gets more than two million requests. The average cost of a meal is 250; the restaurant itself has operated at a loss since 2000, with operating profit coming from El Bulli-related books and lectures by Adrià. As of April 2008 the restaurant employed 42 chefs.
Restaurant Magazine judged El Bulli to be Number One on its Top 50 list of the world's best restaurants for a record five times in 2002, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009, and #2 in 2010.
Thomas Keller of The French Laundry, in Napa, CA is probably next.
After that would be Heston Blumenthal, owner of The Fat Duck in London, voted the Best Restaurant In The World in 2005, and the restaurant I most want to eat at before I die.[/U][/I][/B]After that, you get the rest of the top tier: Eric Ripert, Gordon Ramsay, Marco Pierre White, Jacques Pépin, René Redzepi, Joël Robuchon.
After that, IMO, is the Emeril Lagasse/Wolfgang Puck/Alice Waters/Tom Colicchio /Rocco DiSpirito/Jamie Oliver/Hubert Keller crowd.

well honey hush ...i was nearly impressed to you went on about the fat duck
Heston Blumenthal's Fat Duck shuts in health scare | Life and style | guardian.co.uk
rocco di spritio? really? what a hoot...
No one's mentioned Rachael Ray.
I may get flamed, but I think she's a hot little tart.
Tyler Florence, Nigella Lawson - she rocks, Giada DeLaurentiis, Guy Fieri.
Alton Brown Good Eats. . . he annoys me but he has some of the best recipes. His mac and cheese and buttermilk pound cake and chicken pot pie are oh sooo good.
My daughter went to a filming of Rachael Ray . . . word is, she's diva-like off camera.
Paula Deen -- dear God, that woman IS a stick of butter. Yawwwwl.
Two Fat Ladies! omg, my son - the special needs kid - never watched tv until he was 4 or 5 and he took to the cooking shows for some reason. He loved Two Fat Ladies, Maryann Esposito (Chiao Italia) and Lidia Matticchio Bastianich (Lidia's Italy). lol, I'd forgotten all about Two Fat Ladies.
I remember my mom watching The Galloping Gourmet with Graham Kerr.
Who was that southern guy on PBS -- Howdy ya'll -- with a cajun accent? I liked him.
justin wilson, there is a woman doing cajun cooking now...i dont remember her nameJeff Smith was a snob, imo. Never liked him.
I was thinking that too, but some episodes she looks trim and in others it's like she's porked out.No one's mentioned Rachael Ray.
I may get flamed, but I think she's a hot little tart.
I do like her "thirty minute meals," and I think she's got a cute face. But, she's a fatty.
Gordon Ramsey.
Gordon Ramsey.
You, and the rest of Gordon Ramsey's American fans disappoint me, Luissa.
I'm sure that he's a talented chef, but he's also a monumental ****. I really was hoping that during his - ever stressful - jaunt to America, one of the restaurant owners he bullied and patronised into turning their 'joint' around, would finally have enough of the wrinkly chefs incessant tantrums and retire to their office; only to later reappear with a handgun and shoot him in the knee and testicles.
Oh well, such is life.

He is quite abusive, isn't he...
