Yeah, Tom Colicchio is pretty sexy

but I'm not so into bears. As for celebrity chefs, give me Rocco di Spirito, Tyler Florence, or Jamie What's-his-name (the British Naked Chef dude) any day!

I had no idea

OMG - I thought I was alone in thinking Tom was sexy! I never told a soul about my thoughts. It's nice to know I'm not alone.

Wish I could afford to go to his restaurants.

And He Collects A Paycheck

"The camera is there, and he collects a paycheck, and the rest, frankly, is just parsley on a plate."

"..and he collects a paycheck," "...and he collects a paycheck," "and he collects a paycheck,"

No.

Tom Colicchio is completely overrated. The only reason he's on this list is because he's the only recognizable chef you all could think of.

Give me Eric Ripert (swoon), or Jamie Oliver, or even Tyler freaking Florence over Tom "I love listening to myself talk" Colicchio any day.

Only one for me

Bourdain.

The Keith Richards of the kitchen.

Sigh.

Yes, it's Obama's war now
