For the record, the other women chefs who were nominated by superchefblog for this poll are (in order of appearance on the poll page): Traci Des Jardins, Judy Rodgers, Roxanne Klein, Josie Le Balch, Suzanne Goin, Scooter Kanfer-Cartmill, Christine Keff, Melissa Perello, Tamara Murphy, Suzanne Tracht, Alice Waters, Jennifer Naylor, Lucia Watson, Kathleen Daelemans, Deborah Knight, Julie Francis, Jennifer Jasinski, Sarah Stegner, Carrie Nahabedian, Anita Jaisinghani, Susan Spicer, Kathy Cary, Lidia Bastianich, Nora Pouillon, Jody Adams, Patricia Yeo, Barbara Lynch, Allison Vines-Rushing, Sara Moulton, Susanna Foo, Lydia Shire, Zarela Martinez, Katy Sparks, Anita Lo, Paula Deen, and Anne Cashion. Importance: The important product of the poll is the total number of votes garnered -- 5,000 votes -- to present to the White House -- and this is merely a means by which to bring White House attention to the need to promote women among America's top chefs. Within the hour this morning, superchefblog will launch it's "Tell Laura Bush" email campaign to bring greater White House attention to poll results. Meanwhile, behind the scenes, several of the chefs nominated did express sincere interest in the position of White House executive chef, and superchefblog was able to help make sure that their names did come before the White House committee in charge of the selection process. Of course, it would be wonderful were one of the chefs nominated by superchefblog to be chosen by the White House as the next executive chef, but any top woman chef would suffice as executive chef.
