Vote for Philadelphia's Chef of the Year

On Thursday, November 17, Eater will present the 2016 Eater Awards, our seventh annual celebration of all that's made the restaurant world run — and run wild — in the past 12 months. Winners will be selected on both the local and national levels in five major categories, and the voting begins right now. Next up? Philly's Chef of the Year. Cast your vote for the chef that really made a difference this year below.

Here's how the voting works: Eater editors have named nominees in Philly for each of five major categories. Editors will pick winners from the nominees, and readers will vote to award one nominee in each category with a readers' choice award. Ready to play your part? This poll will be open for 24 hours; voting irregularities will be strictly policed.
