Who's The Hottest Chef In Austin? Nomination Time!

It's time once again to crown the hottest chef in Austin in the Eater family's 4th Annual Hottest Chef Competition. It's Eater Austin's second year to participate, and this year's contest will offer both the underdogs and the 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 city winners against each other in a tournament-style competition for excellence in nationwide hotness.

But before we get to all that sexy excitement, we need your help. Send Eater Austin your nominations for the hottest chef in town 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 last year's champion, Olivia's Taff Mayberry, hog all the glory.

Nominations are due by the end of the week, after which they will be culled and seeded. Then the games will begin when the contest officially launches February 1st.
