Nominate the Year's Best in San Diego for the 2014 Eater Awards

This coming Monday, we launch our annual Eater Awards, a celebration of all that's made the San Diego restaurant scene run—and run wild—in the past year.

2014 Eater Awards winners will be selected on both the local and national levels in five major categories and here's how it works: we'll pick five nominees in each category and will run one poll a day from Monday, November 10, to Friday, November 14, with the winners of each category to be announced on Monday, November 17.

Here's where you come in. We want your suggestions for nominees in each category; who, what and where has really killed it in the last twelve months? As a refresher, here's who emerged victorious in the 2013 Eater Awards.

We're looking for the best contenders for Restaurant of the Year, Chef of the Year, So Hot Right Now (hottest restaurant of the year), Bartender of the Year and Stone Cold Stunner (most attractive/best designed restaurant of the year). Please leave any and all suggestions in the comments.

And when it comes down to voting time, rally your heart out for your favorite restaurant or industry peep who'll ultimately be named tops in the 2014 Eater Awards.
