Probably the most innovative guy--who rarely even cooks any more--is Anthony Bourdain, who has gone everywhere and tried everything and seems to appreciate it all, from the easiest cheapest meal to the most gourmet bizarre concoction. He seems to have the best background that, if he chose to re-open a restaurant, would come up with some innovative stuff.
This post is not good.

Chef Boyardee Beefaroni was a highlight of my childhood.

**** that guy.

Seriously, jealous.

I love Anthony Bourdain but not because he's an innovator, nor because he used to be a cook. The man deserves tremendous respect but not because he's an innovator. And he'd be the first to admit it.

David Chang is a good addition as well. Batali and Wolfgang Puck also belong ahead of some of the others already present - especially if Bobby Flay gets a nod.

There's something mutually horrifying and charming about the fact that Ferran Adria and Chef Boyardee are tied in this poll.

Also, did we mention Jose Andres at all in this thread? Probably should if we haven't.

He's a fascinating kid. Here's an article about him.
http://www.forbes.com/forbes/2011/04...-truffles.html

He used to use my computer between classes to track his FedEx shipments of truffles. And he was like 16.

Shit yeah. Thanks for that link.

I was actually out at the land where the truffiere is last weekend for a Christmas party and will be spending NYE out there as well. Sweet place.

It's funny because Ian was just this sort of goofy kid in my creative writing class. He didn't really show that much interest in writing, so I started talking with him about his interests. We figured out we were both into food, then he started talking about his truffle business and he transformed before my eyes from a goofy teenager to a business savvy entrepreneur. Was crazy. I sponsored the food club mentioned in the article.

Rachel Ray isn't an innovator or anything, but she's probably made more money than the rest of that list combined.
