My wife for sure. Best pastry chef I know.
Kenji Lopez-Alt. His Food Lab cookbook has taught me a ton and he seems like a really good dude.
Edit: typo
Seconding this. He has a great style that keeps it light and simple while still explaining the science behind why certain methods work better than others. I also love that he shows his work by talking about all the testing that goes into his recipes and methods.
He also used to regularly respond to random comments and questions on the other site, which was super cool, though I don’t know if he still does since I went cold turkey so long ago.
"The Wok", his newest book, is really good, too.
Would be nice if Ethan Chlebowski had more vegan recipes, but his techniques and recipe formats are fantastic for home cooking nerds that want the most out of the least. I've had success veganizing his recipes for myself.

Oof, yea. The recipes are great though lol
I used to love watching Iron Chef Sakai. The Americanized shows never reached the grand level of the original show's Iron Chefs, ingredients, and creativity.
There is a Portuguese chef who runs his own craft chocolate factory and a cafe in my city in India. He is an incredible chef. I also love how he never sacrifices his artistic integrity for a quick profit. I love having food there often. It is an incredible fusion of western cooking methods with typical Indian produce. His name is David Belo.
