One of my early mentors would be my mother in law. She still cooks Sunday dinner for at least 20 almost every week. My next mentor would be Martha Stewart. She really started broadening my horizons. And then I'd list Sarah Moulton. I'd watch her for hours when my son was a newborn.
Lou Mitchell's was the breakfast restaurant. They give you donut holes while you're waiting in line. They give women and children small boxes of Milk Duds too. It's near the Sears Tower.
The most important element of cooking is developing a sense of what tastes right and being able to adapt to achieve that in your dishes.
I don't care why they extended daylight savings time, but I loved being able to trick or treat when I could still see! It was the best time we've ever had trick or treating because it was safe enough to let the kids run with less adult supervision. I wish we'd never change the time.
I tried this pie though I cheated on the crust and I guess I underbaked it. It didn't set, so I substituted bowl for a pie plate, topped with vanilla ice cream and redubbed it cobbler. It tasted great, but didn't look like pie.
For pulled pork sandwiches I agree with Erinay77, it's Interstate BBQ in Memphis, both the original location and in the airport. For ribs, Central BBQ also 2 locations in Memphis. For something unusual the Cornish Game Hens at Cozy Corner, also in Memphis.
I'm a newlywed and its Thanksgiving. We live over 2000 miles from home, so my in-laws are coming and my mother-in-law is going to cook. She faxes me the grocery list on it is "frozen onion, chopped." Thanksgiving morning arrives and she asks where's the onion. I open the freezer and remove one yellow onion completely frozen and wait for her to chop it.

I think the ghost of Julia Child will be with most of us, whether or not we recognize it, and these days, I love watching the Iron Chefs.
I like Paula Deen because most of her recipes are similiar to my Mom's southern style.
Rachael Ray is my mentor. She has several T.V. shows and a magazine and she does it all in 30 minutes. Thanks for the contest. I would love to win that book.
My mentors are all of those wonderful people who frequent farmers markets and cook simple, fresh, wonderful food for their families. The people in Italy have the right idea, they cook what is best, what is fresh and then share and enjoy their wonderful cuisine with those they love. Truly the way to live and enjoy life!
