Mike Rowe, the guy who hosts Dirty Jobs, because I think he'd be a fun guy to drink a beer with.
Kurt Vonnegut, because he rocks and is getting pretty old, you know, nice to meet people before they go die. Looks like I missed the boat on this one, a true shame indeed.
Alton Brown, because he motivates me to cook new things.
Elvis and Tupac, because everyone knows they're still alive....?
