Make Your Nomination For The Hottest Chef In Maine

It's time to crown the hottest chef in Maine in Eaterland's Annual Hottest Chef Competition. The 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, with all voting taking place throughout one action packed day of hotness. That day just so happens to be February 14, now to be forever known as Hot Chefs Day.

Before we get to all that sexy excitement, we need your help. Send maine@eater.com your nominations for the hottest chef in the state along with a picture or link to an image. Only restaurant chefs currently working in the industry are allowed. Here in Maine, we'll be crowning our inaugural hottest chef, so let's show the rest of the country just how hot we are under our plaid flannel. Just to spell it out, "hot" here doesn't refer to skill in the kitchen: nope, this contest is purely skin deep. Get those nominations rolling!

Nominations are due one week from today, Monday Feb. 11, after which they will be culled and seeded. Then the games will begin.
