In my humble opinion, some celebrity chefs (mediocre cooks is a better word), are like night & day and 'a dime a dozen'...but they can 'project' themselves on TV and can be are more photogenic than say....real professional chefs.
My favorite Chefs (sorry, I don't have three [3] others)???
1) Jacques Pépin because he not only shows & teaches you to cook from raw product(s) to finished dishes; he also gives you the talk-through method of instruction.
2) Alain Ducasse because of his great career (training with the likes of Chefs Michel Guérard and Roger Vergé), and his cooking style and restaurants which has earned him a total of twenty-one (21) Michelin stars.
