Get ready for Round 1, Heat 3 of Eater's Annual Hottest Chefs Competition. Yesterday's fight was a clean sweep, with Outfit Generic's William Werner moving on—without much of a contest—to Round 2.

Today we journey North for a Wine Country heat, pitting chefs at Napa's two three-Michelin-starred restaurants against each other. The French Laundry's Timothy Hollingsworth will face Meadowood's Chrisopher Kostow. Future Goose & Gander chef Kelly McCown and Rotisserie & Wine's Tyler Florence also join the fight. Vote now to determine who will rise to the top and move on to Round 2. Polls will close tomorrow, Saturday, at 10 a.m. to ensure a fair battle.
