Well, how do you fare compared to the Zeitgeist? Chat up your fellow wooters and let us know how lame this poll was or what obvious choices we missed. For example: Was this poll a) STUPID, b) DUMB, c) POINTLESS or d) ALL OF THE ABOVE?

Paul Deen, hands down. That woman puts more joy into cooking those unhealthy meals than anyone. Her lust for life is what makes her so special.

Bourdain is a badass! Ramsey is cool too, but everything he does on TV is fake so he's lost my vote.

Waited 2 hours to get into Paula Deen's restaurant in Savannah. One of the worst sit down meals I've ever had. Fast food would have been better.

Alton Brown, because he explains in an easy to understand manner (for the everyday person) why food ingredients behave as they do. One begins to understand ingredients and how they combine and react to different kinds of treatment. And he's funny and likeable to boot! Though I may watch other cooks from time to time, they do not educate the audience beyond how to make a recipe or two.

Ooooooh, my son goes to college in Savannah. We eat there at the start and end of the school year. Her fried chicken on the buffet is great. Has honey in it or something.

Alton Brown by far, and I'm suprised you didn't have him on here since you guys are so goofy too.

Alton Brown!

But, technically, he's not a chef. He is a celebrity and he cooks on TV, though.

Good choices. And both of them manage to remain civil to people.
