Vote NOW for San Diego's Chef of the Year

The Eater Awards roll on, and we need your kind assistance to help identify the winners. Yesterday, readers voted for Restaurant of the Year, narrowing the field down to the top three vote-getters, Buona Forchetta, Carnitas' Snack Shack and CUCINA urbana; the Eater editorial team will select an overall winner from these three finalists.

Here's a reminder of how voting works across the board: Eater editors have named nominees for each of five major categories. Eater readers will vote, narrowing the nominees to three finalists. From those three finalists, the Eater editorial team will select a winner. Ready to play your part? This poll will be open for 24 hours; voting irregularities will be strictly policed.

Now, it's time to find San Diego's Chef of the Year. Which chef is having a serious culinary moment in 2013? Whose food just keeps getting better? Weigh in: this poll ends at 10 a.m. on Wednesday.
