Who is Montreal's Chef of the Year?

The fifth annual Eater Awards will take place on Monday, November 17, with winners selected on both the local and U.S. national levels.

This is how it works: Eater editors have named nominees for each of five major categories. Eater readers will vote to narrow the nominees to three finalists. From those three finalists, the Eater editorial team will select a winner.

Yesterday saw the launch of Eater Awards week with the Restaurant of the Year poll.

Now five top Montreal chefs need your support. So vote now for Chris Parasiuk (Manitoba), Brian Peters (Salmigondis), Cédric Deslandes (Les Coudes sur la Table), Joe Mercuri (Mercuri) and Shinji Nagai (Le Shinji).

Later this week: polls for So Hot Right Now, Bartender of the Year and Stone Cold Stunner.
