So fun! It's tough but I think I'd have to go with Eric Ripert- I met him during WestEnd Bistro's opening weekend, I literally MELTED when I chatted with him briefly on my way out :o)

Eric Ripert a charming type to settle with but whoa Sam Kass

@nikki_d said...

Eric Zeibold at CityZen. I like mine nerdy and meticulous :-) (And, no, he's not single in case you were wondering.)

Bart Vandaele of Belga Cafe
And doesn't Mike Voltalgio count as a DC chef?

Unknown said...

And by Michael I meant Brian. oops.

Ooh - I do love me some Barton Seaver... am clearly going to have to research these others. I mean, selecting a restaurant based on the attractiveness of the chef is TOTALLY fine, right? *crickets... tumbleweeds*

I can't believe Barton Seaver didn't make it into this poll, but I'm glad because it would have been much harder to vote!

Eric, hands down.

Eric Ripert has my heart whole heartedly. He makes me go gaga with his radiant smile.

On the other hand, I met Justin on Wednesday and there is nothing sexier than a creative man who can fulfill your sweet tooth.

You need two winners...American Hottie and French Hottie.

That is the Glamazon modus operandi.

Oh me...you've left out Haidar at Proof! Such a great chef and wonderful to work with. He was our exec chef at Asia Nora when I was their Director of Events. Blush...he probably reads your blog. Now I'm busted. Eric Ripert get's my vote in your list.

Tammy Gordon said...

Oooh, in all of the times I've been to proof, I've never seen Haidar.... going to need to pay more attention to the kitchen next time!

Spike's my definite favorite!

I'm going with Spike. What do I win? This could really work in my favor I am thinking.
