Thanksgiving is here and that means football and food. It’s one of the greatest holidays for men because we get to live like kings. While we knock back brewdogs and debate the effectiveness of the Wildcat against the 3-4 defense, the sexier sex aka better halves gather in the kitchen to create a beastly feast worthy of a place far better than our guts. To honor these top chefs, we’ve compiled the following photo gallery of frickin’ hot foodies who know how to whip, beat, blend, bake, chop, peel and mash our senses.

Temperatures are heating up across the country, which means that turning on a kitchen oven can make things quite toasty. So what’s an amateur chef to do? Why take off all her clothes and throw on an apron of course! Nothing says modern and sexually-emancipated like a naked woman bending over a hot stove.

By no means are we suggesting that women should be in the kitchen That’s wrong, insensitive and downright ignorant. All we’re saying is that when women choose to be in the kitchen, it has to be one of the g*ddamn hottest things we’ve ever seen. We’re not sure what it is, but there’s just something about a hottie stripping down into nothing but an apron and covering herself in brownie batter that makes us feel like men again.
