Josh Valentine is asking fans to tweet and text so he can be named Fan Favorite on Bravo's "Top Chef: Seattle."

He was eliminated from competition on Wednesday's show and is asking everyone to vote for him so he can win the $10,000 prize

"Can't thank everyone enough for the kind words. Now it's time to put social media to work. Text J to 27286 or tweet #chefjosh. Thank you all," he posted on facebook.com Thursday.

The Oklahoma City chef, who works as a pastry chef in Dallas, also uses the handle #chefporkbelly on Twitter for those who would like to follow him.

He competed against Kristen Kish in the Last Chance Kitchen competition in Wednesday's episode but the dish didn't wow lead judge Tom Colicchio.

"I like rare venison that was a little undercooked. It was still cold in the center. A little more time with the vegetables in the pan and it would have been a really good dish," said Colicchio before eliminating Valentine.

Kish moves into the show's finale. Valentine had to "pack his knives" and go home.

The winning chef on "Top Chef: Seattle" will receive the title of "Top Chef," a $125,000 prize, a feature in Food & Wine magazine and a showcase at the Annual Food & Wine Classic in Aspen.

The series airs at 9 p.m. Wednesdays on Bravo, cable 46. The season finale will air at 9 p.m. February 27.

Rita Sherrow grew up with TV. Yes, it was the ever-present “sister” from another techno mother. At first look, it was instant "Like." From then on, the TV had to be on in every room while she studied, elementary school through college. An Air Force brat, she attended school in three states (Oklahoma, Montana and Georgia) and two foreign countries (Germany and Bermuda) and graduated from Broken Arrow High School and the University of Tulsa with a degree in journalism/advertising. She first interned in the advertising world but, when a J-School professor (who also covered politics for the Tulsa World) offered her an internship at the newspaper, she took him up on it. The rest is history. She has served as bridal editor, senior features writer for the women’s section, food editor and is television editor of the Tulsa World. In addition to writing about TV shows and interviewing the stars for “Scene” stories, she also writes a TV column for Weekend and produces the Sunday TV World listings magazine.
