Have you voted yet - you know IRL? Polls close at 8 pm today. If you didn't receive your ballot, just call King County Elections at 206.296.8683 and they should be able to help.

Having safeguarded democracy, we move on: The 2011 Eater Awards. You know the drill. The winners will be announced next Monday, November 14th. Between now and then, you'll have the opportunity to cast a vote for your favorites. Eater editors have named nominees for each category: Chef of the Year, So Hot Right Now, Bartender of the Year, and, like we said, Best Bathroom. After you all vote, narrowing the nominees to three finalists, the Eater editorial team will select a winner.

Today, we're talking hottest establishment. Polls are open now for voting and will close in 24 hours when a new poll will begin.

So, which of these hot, hot, hot eateries deserves the title?
