Last week your votes named Jill Bates of Fearing's the Hottest Chef in Dallas. Today, she is battling it out in the Western Conference's first round, gunning for the title of Eater's Hottest Chef in America. Brackets! Get 'em!
Bates is up against San Francisco's hottie, Mark Dommen of One Market, but we think our Dallas pastry queen can totally pour some sugar on him. Move it over to Eater National and cast your vote!
