Passion plates

This issue hits stands exactly a week before Valentine’s Day. Consider this your final heads up to prep for this season of romance—whether that’s picking up a card and some treats for your sweetheart, or making dinner plans.

If you’re like those of us at the CN&R—all about the food—Feb. 14 is an excuse to partake in some of the finer things, be it with your special someone or solo (don’t deprive yourself just because you’re not attached!).

In the spirit of indulgence, we selected a handful of local chefs and asked them to woo us with their sexiest dishes. If the photos alone don’t make your heart beat a little faster, we’re not sure what will.
