Cast Your Nominations For The Hottest Chef in the Bay 2011

As the the year begins, it is time once again to crown the hottest chef in the Bay Area in the Annual Eater SF Hottest Chef Competition. Just like last time, 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. But before we get to all that sexy excitement, we need your help. Send sf@eater.com your nominations for the hottest chef in the Bay Area along with a good 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 reigning champ Louis Maldonado take it home two years in a row.

Nominations are due by next Friday, after which they will be culled and seeded. Then the games begin. And BONUS, this year, our local winner will go on to a contest of utmost importance on Eater National to possibly earn the title of Hottest Chef in America.
