Fort Point’s getting a complex. A celebrity complex, that is! Which celeb chef do you think should dock at the neighborhood’s $550 million Atlantic Wharf building?

First things first: The Globe reports that steakhouse Smith & Wollensky is staking their claim to a spot at the schmancy-new Atlantic Wharf complex on the corner of Atlantic Avenue and Congress Street, complete with an outdoor bar and dining area. When the idea was first made public, it all seemed very 2007 to us. We wondered if cupcakeries and and fro-yo would soon dot the neighborhood like scenes from the fourth season of Sex and the City. Woo hoo! Another…upscale steakhouse!

But the plot has since thickened. The complex will also house several other restaurants, and per the Globe, developer Boston Properties says one of these restaurants will be operated by a …. celebrity chef! Humble readers, we want to know: Which celebrity chef do you want to dock at Atlantic Wharf? Who’d be the right fit for the neighborhood? What type of cuisine does the area really need? Tell us!
