Was there ever any doubt as to who would win Sexiest Chef contest over at the Daily News? Not here! The polls have closed and, as we always knew he would, our old pal Johnny Zs has walked away with the prize, thanks to 285 votes in the “sizzling” category. In his champion photo, Johnny (who, you'll remember, has a newsletter that reminds us he “is becoming quite the superstar”) is photographed sitting next to his motorcycle, like a vanilla-coated Fonzie for the 21st century.

Bonus: In celebrating his win, Iuzzini gives us the perfect cocktail of quotage. First he declares — with a straight face — that “We're chefs and that's the main thing.” But then he later hints — also with a straight face, no doubt — that he's available for the lucky ladies: “"There's always time to date," he said. "I work about 12 to 14 hours [a day], so that leaves about 10 hours for dating. I don't need to sleep much.” Oh, swoon.
