Hottest Chef Round 1: Kave, Sosa, Murphy, Machado

Round one of the 2nd annual Hottest Chef in New York competition continues! Last week, top seeds Alain Allegretti, Emma Hearst, Tomas Curi, and Johnny Iuzzini beat out their scrappy underdog adversaries, promising them spots in round two. To kick off this week of voting—decisions will become harder as we move to the middle of the pack—ex-model Corwin Kave, the chef at Zak Pelaccio's Fatty Crab, goes up against Xie Xie's Angelo Sosa, Marc Murphy from Landmarc and Ditch Plains, and Natalia Machado from Industria Argentina. Time to get voting. May the hottest chef win.
