For decades, chefs have blithely played the game, "If you were to die tomorrow, what would you want for your last meal on earth?"
A book being released in November offers captivating portraits of fifty of the world's greatest chefs and their responses to this intriguing and provocative question.

My Last Supper: 50 Great Chefs and Their Final Meals by Melanie Dunea.

Melanie Dunea came up with the ingenious idea to ask fifty of the world's famous chefs to let her in on this insider's game and tell her what their final meals would be. My Last Supper showcases their fascinating answers alongside stunning Vanity Fair-style portraits. Their responses are surprising, refreshing, and as distinct from each other as the chefs themselves. The portraits-gorgeous, intimate, and playful-are informed by their answers and reveal the passions and personalities of the most respected names in the business. Lastly, one recipe from each landmark meal is included in the back of the book.

Some of the chefs featured:
Ferran Adrià, Lidia Bastianich, Mario Batali, Rick Bayless, Michelle Bernstein, Daniel Boulud, Scott Conant, Gary Danko, Hélène Darroze, Alain Ducasse, Wylie Dufresne, Suzanne Goin, gabrielle Hamilton, Masa Kobayashi, Nobu, Jamie Oliver, Jacques Pépin, Gordon Ramsay, Charlie Trotter, Jean-Georges Vongerichten

Now I'm throwing the question out to you: What would you want for your last meal on earth?
