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.

He cares about his fans. Yeah, I'm gushing, but I have my reasons.
And when he's in a suit either on Iron Chef America or at an event....be still my heart. :)h
On another note, why isn't Mario Batali on this list?
