The Best British Chefs

We're suckers for a bit of a bad boy, particularly one with ample talent to back up the swagger. To that point, Marco Pierre White was at one time the youngest chef to be awarded three Michelin stars. After years in the kitchen, he's since semiretired — from cooking, that is . . . These days he's best known as a restauranteur and television personality.

We're hoping to indulge in his luxurious lobster with garlic butter or wild mushroom risotto soon.
