Make Your Nomination for The Hottest Chef in SF

It's that time of year again to crown the hottest chef in San Francisco. Eaterland's Annual Hottest Chef Competition will offer both the underdogs and the clear front runners the chance to battle it out in nail biting heats and final elimination rounds. Just like Fifth Floor's David Bazirgan did last year, this year's local winner will go on to compete nationally. In the biggest cross-country contest yet, Eater National will pit the winners from sister cities New York, Washington D.C., Miami, Atlanta, Chicago, New Orleans, Houston, Dallas, Austin, Denver, Los Angeles, Seattle and Portland against our hometown hottie.

Before we get to all that sexy excitement, we need your help. Send sf@eater.com your nominations for the hottest chef in San Francisco 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 past champion Louis Maldonado or 2011's "Baz" 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.
