Make Your Nomination for The Hottest Chef in New York

It's time once again to crown the hottest chef in New York City in Eaterland's 3rd Annual Hottest Chef Competition. Just like the last two times, this year's contest will offer both the underdogs and the clear front runners the chance to battle it out in nail biting heats and final elimination rounds. What's new this year: the winner will go on to compete nationally, as Eater National will pit the winners from sister cities Portland, Chicago, Miami, San Francisco, Austin, and Los Angeles against our hometown hottie.

Before we get to all that sexy excitement, we need your help. Send tips@eater.com your nominations for the hottest chef in New York along with a picture or link to an image. Repeats from last year are unavoidable, but let's get some new blood in the mix. Don't let 2008 champion Alain Allegretti or 2009's Emma Hearst and Thomas Curi take hog all the glory.

Nominations are due by the end of next week, after which they will be culled and seeded. Then the games will begin.
