Vote for New York City's Chef of the Year [POLL CLOSED]

The fifth annual Eater Awards are now less than a week away, and Eater needs your help to name the winners. Yesterday, readers voted for Restaurant of the Year, and narrowed the field down to Batard, Cherche Midi, and Dirty French. Now, it's time to vote for the Chef of the Year.

Here's how the voting works across the board: Eater editors have named nominees for each of five major categories. Eater readers will vote, narrowing the nominees to three finalists. From those three finalists, the Eater editorial team will select a winner. Ready to play your part? This poll will be open for 24 hours; voting irregularities will be strictly policed
