As the co-owner and executive chef of two restaurants, baby-faced Bryan Voltaggio, 42, is a reality TV success story who just so happens to be pretty darn good looking. He was the runner-up of the sixth season of Bravo’s Top Chef, placing second to his brother, Michael Voltaggio, and was a runner-up on the fifth season of Top Chef Masters, making him the first chef to compete on both Top Chef and Top Chef Masters.

Since Bryan and Michael obviously share a gene pool, it wouldn’t make sense to include one cute brother and not the other. Michael, 39, followed in his brother’s footsteps professionally, and also bears a striking resemblence to his older sibling, but stood out on season 6 of Top Chef thanks to his tattoos and bad boy image. As of June 2018, two of his Los Angeles restaurants had closed, but Voltaggio still owns STRFSH, a casual seafood stand in Santa Monica, and a restaurant in LAX.

Though he’s off the market, Brown has a dedicated following thanks to his 13-year stint as the host and creator of Good Eats, which will be back on the air in 2019. Through his show, Brown, who speaks with a charming yet subtle Southern drawl, taught viewers not only how to whip up some great food, but also why ingredients interact the way they do when combined with one another. What’s not to like about that?

Though Johnson might not have as big a following as some of the other names on this list, he’s certainly one good looking guy to watch.

The Culinary Institute of America-trained chef also coauthored a cookbook, Between Harlem and Heaven, in 2018.
