For this next round of voting we are focusing on four award-winning male chefs: Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, Ming Tsai, David Rocco, and Gordon Ramsay.  

Participants may vote (once, please) for the chef they would like to cook with for the next six months. There is a link to each chef's website on their name below so you can get to know them and check out some of their recipes before you vote.
