Ok, by now you already realized my type of guy... mature, masculine and dark hair... This one is a hetero, but: WHo cares! he is hot! and really sexy!

Known for Napa Valley icon, the Tra Vigne Restaurant, Chef Michael Chiarello is host of Easy Entertaining with Michael Chiarello on Food Network. He is also the creator of NapaStyle specialty foods and handcrafted products for kitchen, home and garden.

Born in 1962 and raised in the central California community of Turlock, Michael followed his childhood dream of becoming a world-class chef.
