Best Chef
Yes, chef! Taking the bacon for Best Chef is Ella Wesenberg from The Good Wives (Eastridge Center), who creates all her dishes from scratch and switches up the menu constantly thanks to her creative genius. Not to be outdone, Tony Draganowski at Bijou Bistro claimed second place; make sure you make a reservation to try his creations, though, because the place fills up fast! Following in third place is Jared Hughley from Johnny’s Italian Steakhouse, who serves up perfection on a plate. Bon Appetit! —Natalie Derks
