Heston Blumenthal
I really, really like this guy. And to think when I first heard about him I wanted to hate him.
Lets face it, anyone who spends their earnings on a laboratory so that they can create new recipes has my respect, and lets face it, I bet he developed the poison that killed that KGB defector, he's that cool.
Another reason, anyone who introduces power tools into the kitchen is great.
