Why Chef Crush? Because cooking makes a person cute and sometimes even sexy! We love good food, and we totally crush on the people who cook it for us. These dreamy chefs make us feel all tingly inside, like we’re back in junior high flipping through the glossy pages of our teen magazines.
We (heart) cooks!
That’s right, CrushGirls and CrushBoys, we are thrilled to announce our very first ever Chef Crush contest! How cool is that? Here are the details…

533 SE Grand Avenue, Portland, Oregon, 97214
Why he’s dreamy:
Crunchy-on-the-outside, perfectly moist-on-the-inside hushpuppies with honey butter. We crush on the white wine fondue with truffle oil and the much-lauded slowburger too, but we rarely make it past this cutie pie’s little corn fritters.
