The Chefs Who Make Us Forget the Food

The culinary world of social media has become huge. Mostly because people love food, and the cameras are so good. Behind those sexy dishes are the chefs who make them, and they can be pretty appetizing themselves. We picked seven men who may build a career on heating up the kitchen on social media but also leave us needing an ice bath.

Nick DiGiovanni 

With millions of social media followers, some for his food, some for his charm (or both), Nick DiGiovanni has become an Instagram phenomenon.  Visited by stars like The Jonas Brothers, Gordon Ramsay and even Shaquille I’Neal, chef DiGiovanni has become a celebrity chef, but not in the traditional sense. He’s your daily recommended serving of heartthrob. 

Franco Noriega  

Peruvian social medialite Franco Noriega not only makes hot dishes—- he is one. This chef quenches thirst traps with chicken broth and his followers seem to like it.  Photos of him shirtless on the beach, manspreading on a lounge chair in Spain or in a sleeveless tee in New York, means he lives life with a dash of spice and a lot of vim and vinegar. 

Cédric Grolet 

Chef Cédric Grolet not only puts ink in his paella, he puts it on his body. This tattooed French pastry chef has millions of followers and what makes him special are the works of art he calls desert. But it’s not only his shortbread and croissants that are yummy, this chef has some raw sex appeal, and when he firmly kneads his pastry dough, we have some thoughts. 

Roze Traore 

If there were a modeling agency that only represented chefs, Roze Traore would be their biggest talent. Over six-feet tall, and a wardrobe even Cher from “Clueless” would be envy, his style is equal to his substance. Looking at his Instagram is like looking through a Vogue cookbook, and it all works. If you’re looking for a chef who can prepare a full meal, then walk the runway Traore is your guy. 

Anthony Randello Jahn 

We’ll take a dozen please. Anthony Randello is known as the Donut Daddy. He has a massive following mostly because people want to see him manhandle his ingredients during prep. Recently he’s gone full thirst trap, not only posting his usual culinary foreplay, but now he also makes his gorgeous physique the main character.  Where else can you see a video of a pastry chef making delicious deserts in one video and taking a shower in the next? 

QCP (Gianluca Conte) 

Just like the Donut Daddy chef Gianluca Conte (QCP) puts more than just food on the table. Whatever he’s preparing almost always includes a bit of spice and by that we mean his bare chest. Is it even sanitary to wear an apron with no shirt on? Or prepare a dish in a sleeveless tee. His over three-million Instagram fans don’t seem to mind and neither do we, except sometimes we can’t tell which one is the main course. 

Eddy Diab 

A hot chefs of Instagram list wouldn’t be complete without including Eddy Dian. He’s got it all: sharp jaw line, tattoos and a provocative presentation that almost always includes an unbuttoned shirt. His confidence is a turn-on and the passion he exudes for cooking and making lust traps is almost more than anyone can take. We have just one thing to say: Can we have seconds?
