Vote Local: Food & Wine’s People’s Favorite Chef

The contest for the People’s Best New Chef in Food & Wine magazine was such a hit (remember Canlis’s all-out campaign to get Jason Franey the win last year? Alas, Jason Bissonnette of Boston’s Coppa took the prize) that they’re doing it again this year.

Several Pacific Northwest nominees hail from Portland, Idaho and Hawaii, but there are four chefs from the Seattle area:

Blaine Wetzel of the marvelous Willows Inn

Shaun McCrain of Book Bindery

McCracken-Tough of Coterie Room, Spur and Tavern Law

And Cormac Mahoney of Madison Park Conservatory
