    Who would you have lunch with?

    If you could have lunch with someone dead or alive who would it be?

    My top pick would be Gordon Ramsey. He makes delicious food and seems to really care about people. I love how he can take a failing restaurant and make it a success changing peoples lives and the community for the better. He seems like a real guy I could relate with and feel comfortable around more than a celebrity or political figure.

    I also wouldn't mind the "Take Home Chef," Curtis Stone. He's easy on the eyes and I'm always keeping my house clean before going to the store in case my fantasy comes true and I bump into him in the super market and he wants to cook a delicious dinner for my husband and I at my house for his show, "Take Home Chef"!

      Yes of course be sentimental! Since a little before Ancestry.com and the show, "Who do you think you are?", came out I've often thought about my genealogy and what the roots of my family must be like. One year my grandma gave us all copies of her mother's handwritten recipes with pictures and drawings she'd done. Many of the grandchildren had never met her and the recipes were secret family ones so it was a very sweet sentimental gift from her that Christmas.

        I would love to have lunch with my great-grandmother. She was a fantastic lady, but she passed away when I was a teenager. I would relish the opportunity to get to know her as an adult...

            I know this probably doesn't count but it would totally be my elderly self.

              It depends...

              I love this:
              my elderly self
              . That would be my first choice.

              If my higher self is talking: Jesus. Buddha.

              If my hedonistic side is picking: Daniel Craig. Young Sting.

              If my nerdier side is choosing: JK Rowling, Einstein, Steven Hawking.

                I have no idea.

                From the present: Any former President and our current President, plus Hillary Clinton.

                From the past: Any of the founding fathers, but I'd include their wives and slaves. I think that would be very interesting.

                From my family: any of them. My great-grandfather who was so young when he died- he'd be really cool to talk to. any maybe we'd finally figure out what happened to his brother. (Australia- that's all we know)

                From popular culture: All of the Real Wives from every show. and the cast of Jersey Shore. and then I'd sit them all down and tell them that they're a complete embarrassment and they should all be ashamed of themselves for being ignorant and stupid and generally offensive and they need to get off the air because they're sucking up valuable time. and that they all needed to read books and try to become slightly better human beings.

                        This thread makes me want to go to lunch with my mom and dad - who are still alive - but not with our usual chit chat. I need to work on really getting to know them better!

                            I recently made my dad sit down and tell me about the 6 years he spent in the military. I really learned a lot about him. Do this!

                            There are a lot of government leaders I would love to have lunch with. I'd prefer it be after they are out of office, though... I think they would have more to say!

                            My grandmother died when I was in 6th grade, and I would love to have a conversation with her as an adult. I also have a grandfather who I never met, and I'm sure he'd be fascinating.
