The first-annual Hottest Chef in PDX competition begins now. To start things off, we have top reader-vote-getter Paul Losch (Vino Paradiso) facing off against Benjamin Dyer (Simpatica, Ate-Oh-Ate), Trent Pierce (of soon-to-shutter Fin), bad boy Eric Bechard (of McMinnville's Thistle), and Jamie Freedman (of Biwa). The winner of this heat moves onto the semifinals.
