In the kitchen and at the table

badseed1980For those of you who, like me, are big fans of food and the people who make it and explore it, a question in two parts:
If you could choose a famous chef to cook with, who would it be?
If you could choose a famous chef to eat a meal with, who would it be?
For me: #1 would almost certainly be Alton Brown, but Mario Batali is a close second. #2 would almost certainly be Tony Bourdain, but Mario Batali is a close second. :) If she were still alive, Julia Child would also be a top choice for #1.

I love Paula Deen, and her restaurant is incredible, you know you're hot shit when the Savannah Tour bus drives by and tells their fare that the two blocks of people are in line at "The Lady and Sons" restaurant for the Mac-N-Cheese, sure enough we were! I have no idea how anyone can make Mac-N-Cheese taste that well.
good question

I like the "Ham on the Street" guy too, but Alton is the king of them all; to this day, his is the only cooking show I've made stuff from....

He is co-owner, founder and former executive chef of the Gramercy Tavern in New York City, which opened in 1994, and was voted Most Popular Restaurant in New York City by the Zagat Survey in 2003 and 2005.
Colicchio is the recipient of five James Beard Foundation Medals for his cooking accomplishments. He was the head judge on seasons 1 and 2 of the Bravo reality TV show Top Chef and is currently reprising this role in Season 3.
Colicchio is married to filmmaker Lori Silverbush.
It is also worth mentioning that Tom currently owns a chain of restaurants entitled 'Craft', see link below.

Apparently quite a few spinoff restaurants including one called 'Wichcraft which specializes in sandwiches, quite clever.
