Default What do you think of celebrity chefs?

Dear fellow gastronomes!


I am doing PhD research in to celebrity chefs. Why are they so
successful? Does Nigella have to be sexy? Does Jamie have to be pukka?
Would really appreciate your opinion. Below is the URL of my
questionnaire and my details. Takes 5-10 mins to fill in. Go on - have
your say!

It's tautological -- if they weren't successful, they wouldn't
be celebrities.

You will have to do research on both less successful chefs and
celebrity chefs if you want to discern there is any difference
between the two groups, other than blind luck.

Good luck on your PhD.

On the chance that you are not a troll - this is truly pitiful. Who on
earth would give anyone a PhD degree for research on celebrity chefs?
Meaningless, mindless tripe.
