Chef Matthew Mytro, formerly of Paladar and Crop and currently in Miami working on the new Red the Steakhouse, is more than just a chef – he’s an entrepreneur. With his company, Stove Monkeys, he and partner Anthony Lynch design shirts for chefs and foodies alike.

According to their site, they were inspired to create a line of clothing that could be worn by chefs as everyday street wear. Stove Monkeys purpose is to provide the culinary industry apparel that will bestow a sense of camaraderie amongst culinary professionals, students, and foodies everywhere. As progressive chefs, they are concerned with sustainability and health. These beliefs are carried into the production of the apparel and utilizie eco-friendly printing materials and recycled products where available.

Mytro is giving away two shirts – one for the guys and one for girls, your pick. All you have to do is leave a comment, any comment, and I’ll randomly pick two winners (but don’t leave a comment as anonymous – I need to be able to contact you). Pretty simple, huh?

Good luck!
