Are Bon Appétit's Hot 10 Chefs Hot or Not?
We say hot. We threw a party for our Best New Restaurants in America last night, and as it is fashion week, they turned it out. Here, our art director and resident fashion guru Elizabeth Spiridakis breaks down their looks.

I really don't even know where to begin. ( I wish the valets were wearing Rod Lavers.) But Ryan Scott Smith (far left) has a sick look. I think it's hard for men to do "different" when they wear suits, but if you realize the details count, then you can find a way to make it yours. The club collar plus vest is so cute. Quick question, though: Is that jacket, like, a coated canvas or something? I'm intrigued!
BFANYC.COM2/8Fredrik Berselius, Aska
Safe to say that the female staff of BA have nothing but serious heart-eye emoji for Fredrik: super handsome, loves Dries Van Noten, and forages for greens in the wilds of Brooklyn. Can you even handle it?
BFANYC.COM3/8Terrence Gallivan, The Pass and Provisions
This is basically the template of What a Male Chef Looks Like right now. Handsome, bearded, denim apron'd. He gets points for an orange wingtip (I like a guy who's into FLAIR).

He looks so happy which is the best part of this picture!!!! Two buttons unbuttoned is my favorite for all guys. Just get casual! We like it!
BFANYC.COM5/8Josh McFadden, Ava Gene's
This is what I think of as "Brooklyn Preppy": dressing like boarding-school boys on their weekends.
BFANYC.COM6/8Abraham Conlon, Fat Rice
I'm obsessed with him. His name is Abraham, and he reminds me of Glen E. Friedman-era Beastie Boys style. So 90s.
BFANYC.COM7/8Adrienne Lo, Fat Rice
She is so gorgeous; love the brows and her sparkly collar detail. I would take away the earrings and the shoulder bag and add a red lip and a clutch.
BFANYC.COM8/8Adam Evans, The Optimist
He is very cute, and I love that mustache (and Wayfarers, so good with a suit), but that hat is ruining it for me! Dudes who don’t usually wear suits get nervous when they wear suits and do things like wear trucker hats. I want you all to know: You don't have to!
