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.

Uber-talented, sexy, humble, British accent, confident, black, respectful of his peers and a very good father to his little girl. Did I mention sexy??!! What does it take to see a REAL man on this list??!!

Ramsay needs rabies shots. If it wasn't for his filthy mouth and abusive personality attracting the kind of idiots that watch so -called 'reality' TV, his repulsive show would have gone the way of his restaurant.

and where is Rick Bays on this list?

1-28-2011 @10:13AM Chelsea said... What about Michael Symon, pr even new Iron Chef Marc Forgione? Anthony Bourdain? Eric Ripert? eww lol, but maybe it's because I'm 20, and those two are a lot older than me.

1-28-2011 @10:53AM Ang said... Hello? Why isn't Todd English on this list??? He should be number one. And I agree that Ludo Lefebrve should be on there too. Ramsey and Flay - not top 10's....not on anyone's list.

1-28-2011 @11:26AM Mary McLuckie said... Chef Gordon Ramsey and Curtis Stone are far and beyond my two favorite chefs, though Jamie Oliver is right in there too.
I see that the TV credits for Chef Ramsey have not included "Hell's Kitchen". Please say that this show is coming back for another season. It is...isn't it? If not, I really couldn't blame him...but on the other hand; there would go some great TV viewing.

He can be cruel and foul mouthed and I'm sick of seeing his hissy fits -- and that's just on commercials! I won't watch the guy--it's too upsetting. I have a feeling he was added to the list just to receive comments like this one.

Bobby Flay wears loads of makeup, sexy?! Then again he almost didn't make the list, so whatever.
Tyler Florence, maybe when he was thinner.
Jamie Oliver? I like his personality but the lisp kills it for me.
AND...your number one is totally a joke right?! I think you should either rename the list or give us the real winners.
