If you can’t stand the heat, stay out of Chef Matt Piekarski’s kitchen. The Executive Chef of Sugar Factory American Brasserie inside Paris Las Vegas was recently voted the city’s hottest chef. Read more.

Eater Vegas hosted the friendly competition, and now Piekarski will represent Las Vegas in a “no-holds-barred national hot chef death match.” (We’re pretty sure no actual death will be involved.) Cast your vote here.

What makes a hot dude additionally hot? He also happens to know how to cook. We caught the chef in action during a recent visit to the Sugar Factory’s kitchen.

Note: It’s pure coincidence the chef won our “Hottest Chef” vote approximately three minutes after he made us this.

Congrats to Chef Matt Piekarski on the win. He’s just lucky this blog doesn’t know how to cook, because we’re adorable.
