3 people you want to invite to dinner

[jpmcgrew]

Bon Appetite has a back page interview with celebrities the last question is what 3 people would you like to invite to dinner dead or alive I want to ask the same question but you can go as many people you want instead of only 3.
My list would go on forever but you guys go first.

Omigosh, jp. I see that page every issue and my list, like yours, is longer than my arm. I think I would have to have many meals with many trios.

Let's see, for dinner number 1:

Robin Williams (Better not have any silly food.)
Julia Child (I'd pick her brain until there was nothing left.)
James Patterson (I'm fascinated with his imagination.)

I think these three would be great fun. Julia always enjoyed fun, so I can see her and Robin Williams going at it in delightful humor. I love Patterson, especially his "Max" books.

I’ll stick to five to make it interesting and somewhat challenging.

Arnold Swarzenegger – Not only do I love his movies (yeah, it’s a cheesy guy thing), but his drive and determination (even to this day) is incredible. The way he pushed himself during the body building days and invented new techniques and basically revolutionized the sport and practice is amazing. I could pick his brain for hours.

Bruce Lee – Simply amazing individual. Drive, determination, intuitiveness, and skill is very impressive.

Stephen King – His imagination and ideas could keep us up for days.

King Tut (Tutankhamun) – What was life like back then….and HOW did they build those pyramids!

Dick Proenneke – He was simply amazing. If you haven’t seen it, try to get a copy of “Alone in the Wilderness”. Awesome. The things he could teach and talk about….wow.

George Washington.

Thomas Jefferson.

Benjamin Franklin.

Keep the maderia flowing and keep the tape recorder running.

What a fabulous question, jp! I know this is going to rolling around in my head all evening but the first people that come to mind that I would group together are:

The Dalai Llama
Steve Hawking
Isaac Asimov
Peter Gabriel
Mother Theresa
Julia Child
Phil Collins
Jimi Hendrix
Luciano Pavarotti
Kinky Friedman
Jimmy & Roselyn Carter
Margaret Meade
Robin Williams (I'm with you, Katie)
Albert Einstein
Kurt Vonnegut
John Irving

There are so many more and I can't even begin to imagine how I would group them. I would never want to have any more than 4 or 5 at any one time because I would certainly want to talk with them in depth!

I love that! I had definitely planned for the musicians on my list providing some after dinner entertainment but Gene Kelly! What an experience to dance with him! Now my list is going off in a million different directions.

That goes without saying.

Put on your seatbelt for this one. It could be a bumpy ride. This dinner would not be for the faint of heart.

 

[Fisher's Mom]

I didn't realize they had died. An even greater tribute to the kind of people they were. It certainly made me think - I'm calling my mom tonight! Thanks Andy.

 

[Uncle Bob]

My Mother, My brother, My Grandmother.....Just once more.

 

[Dave Hutchins]

While some of you have mentioned some very famous names I would invite
some of the greatest Chefs that ever lived and some of the past masters
Louie p de Goy, Louis Szathmary, Julia Child, , some of the new masters
Jaque Pippn and have the whole works cooked and judged buy the food net work I think it would be a double hoot

King Tut (Tutankhamun) – What was life like back then….and HOW did they build those pyramids!

just an fyi, the pyramids were built roughly 2000 years before tut-ankh-amun's time. he was planted in a tomb in the valley of the kings, not in a pyramid.
