Last year Slashfood launched the The 10 Hottest Men in the Food Industry and boy, did we hear about it! From commenters all over, everyone had an opinion. This year, we opened up the polls to our readers and let you decide who would make our final top 10 list.
Narrowing down 30 names to 10, after the jump, see who made the list again, and find out who, surprisingly, is our (possibly not-so-hot) hottest man of 2011.

1-26-2011 @9:28PM Steph said... GOOD FOR YOU, TONY!!! No matter what anyone says, someone that can be so open not only to the world through a camera, but mostly to himself deserves what he has been lucky enough to be gifted with. If only everyone was as lucky...

1-27-2011 @7:33PM Jack Steen said... Anthony Bourdain is in love with Andrew Zimmern, but just doesn't let on.
Tyler Florence (change your stupid name, Dude!) was hot forty pounds ago.
Jamie Oliver needs to take DAILY showers - and stop with the Brit pronunciation of "HERBS: like you're talking to your mate, Herb.
Bobby Flay would be NOTHING if it wasn't for the two Jewish broads that help him with his hopeless, unimaginative recipes, adding mango chutney in EVERYTHING - or using BLUE CORN TORTILLAS.
Get a friggin' life, Flay - and read a book - a COOKBOOK.

1-27-2011 @10:54PM Sarah said... Wow... Ramsay and Bourdain would be the ONLY 2 on my list - what about Michael Smith? He's pretty gorgeous! And Susur Lee, and even Marcus Samuelson. There are so many more worthy men out there!
