Hot Chefs 2013, Eater's Sexiest Competition Ever

Who's ready for a little sexy time? Today is Hot Chef Day 2013, a competition to decide who is our city's absolute hottest chef. All the hot chef action of 2012 has been condensed into one jam-packed day, so the proceedings will move quickly. Reader-nominated chefs will battle it out for the coveted title through hourly polls. By 5:30 p.m., one lucky nominee will be crowned the Hottest Chef in New Orleans.

Each poll will run for 90 minutes. The two chefs that get the most votes from each round will go on to the semifinals, and the top two from that heat will duke it out for the title of Hottest Chef. That lucky winner will then battle it out with the hot chefs from all of the other Eater cities for the title of Hottest Chef in America. So, national glory is at stake here, people. Make your votes count.

There will be a lot of hot chef action on Eater today. If that's not your thing, then perhaps you might enjoy reading about last-minute Valentine's Day afrodeezy dishes on one of the many other fine dining blogs out there. But if you like looking at hotties that can cook you some food, this promises to be a lot of fun.
