Is the celebrity chef culture over?

I see 2 kinds of celebrity chefs: 1) the TV kind (Bourdain, Rachel Ray, etc) and 2) the Chefs who are famous for their cuisine first: (Keller, Ducasse, Boulud, Vongerichten, etc)

The TV kind I am sick of. The 2nd group I adore.

Matsugen: Jean-Georges Vongerichten Presents Fresh Soba and More

May I ask: How is Matsugen for the diner never eating in a Japanese place? Do they explain the do's and don'ts and how to eat the various dishes?

Fantastic review- Thank you.

Beard Awards Predictions

I have eaten at both and I agree with Mr. Levine. They love Danny Meyer.This time to a fault.

I can state with confidence that they got this one (Outstanding Restaurant) wrong big time. Jean Georges is the better restaurant as far as food and service goes. Jean Georges has earned 3 Michelins, 4 NYT stars, 5 Mobile stars(10 years in a row). So I have good backing on my arguement.

It's too bad the Beards are a popularity contest, which is probably one of the reasons it is called "the Culinary Oscars".

Now about the voting: I thought it was a panel of their peers who cast the final vote as well as food critics. Is this correct?????
