Last Call for "People's Best New Chef" Voting

​Voting ends tomorrow for Food & Wine magazine's "The People's Best New Chef" competition. Our three St. Louis competitors -- Anthony Devoti of Five Bistro, Josh Galliano of Monarch and Kevin Willmann of Farmhaus -- need your help to pull off a last-minute miracle.

As of 2:30 p.m. this afternoon, Lee Richardson of Ashley's at the Capital Hotel in Little Rock is pulling away from the pack in the Midwest category with just over 38% of all votes.  Erik Anderson of Sea Change in Minneapolis is second with about 30%. Galliano is a distant third at 7.36%, while both Devoti and Willmann are under 3%.

Fears that having three contestants would harm St. Louis' chances because the three would split the vote seem to be unfounded: the vote total of all three combined would still be well short of the lead.

The full results, again as of 2:30 p.m. today, are after the jump.
