Polls Are Open: Chicago's Chef of the Year

It's hump day, but since you likely aren't doing anything to celebrate that, how about taking some time to vote in today's Eater Awards 2011 poll?

On Monday we will celebrate the restaurateurs, chefs, restaurants, bartenders—and bathrooms—that keep this industry so alive, that make Chicago stand out as a culinary destination. But we need your help. So for five main categories, we are putting forth our nominees and requesting that Eater readers vote to narrow the field down to three. Editors will choose the winner from the top three.

Yesterday readers voted for what restaurant is So How Right Now, narrowing the field down to just Telegraph, Next and Autre Monde. Today a slew of new hot spots will go head to head to compete for the title of Chef of the Year. This poll will be open for 24 hours; voting irregularities will be strictly policed.
