Celebrinerds of the cooking world

Ken Jennings of Jeopardy! fame is thrilled that he has caused Time magazine to coin a new word in his honor.

"So now I have my very own stillborn Time neologism! I’m a celebrinerd."

So, who can we count among the celebrinerds of the cooking world?

My favorite, Alton Brown, immediately comes to mind. As does Michael Chu, who does Cooking for Engineers, although I think his celebrity only exists in the cooking blog world. Is Chef Ferran Adria of molecular gastronomy fame enough of a celebrity to qualify? Perhaps in gastronomic circles. ("Pistachio truffle cooled in liquid nitrogen" definitely gets him the nerd vote.)

Anyone else?
