Day four of the Sweetest Things is upon us. It’s time to drown out the noise and hang out with your buds — taste buds, that is.

We’ve given you food for thought. Now give us your vote for the hottest new chef, baker, or other foodie front-runner.

And the nominees are…

		Dan Jividen The Fondude Dan Jividen is the elusive Fondude, who comes to your house, prepares traditional Swiss fondue, and leaves the table set for an interactive cheesy dinner for two.

		Brad Parsons Customized Ice Cream Fairmont Chicago executive chef Brad Parsons started a customized ice cream program where no flavor is off limits. He’ll prepare a batch of your dreamt-up concoction and ship it to your home.

		George Djurovic and Angie Kongabel August Grocery Brother-sister team George Djurovic and Angie Kongabel offer up fresh, local, seasonal produce and ingredients at their supermarket, August Grocery.

Vote for Taste in Chicago. Winners will be announced February 1, 2008
