I was recently on a blog, and somehow I came across a thread where they were rating the top 50 chefs. I am curious who do you think are the top 3 living chefs. I know this is going to be hard to sum up only 3, and I choose living Chefs because its a little more relevant. Your top 3 do not have to be rated in order, and they can be retired.
After some time thinking, the top chefs on my list would be...
Paul Bocuse
Ferran Adria
Thomas Keller
Really tough to leave Joel Robuchon and Freddy Girardet of that list. But I think for me, Keller is my Favorite chef in the world, and is the only American Chef with 6 Michelin Stars and Bocuse and Adria are solid picks regardless.
Also being a Chicago native, it was hard to keep these chefs off, being I personally was so influenced by Charlie Trotter, Jean Banchet, and currently Grant Achatz and Laurent Gras at L2O.
For the record this is my list and your list can be any chefs that you choose. I am not asking for any debate on my list, and I am just curious what other people who love food and wine think the top 3 living chefs are.
