Got an opinion on Chicago's best chefs? The 2012 Jean Banchet Awards for Culinary Excellence won't be presented until Feb. 8 during the Grand Chefs Gala ceremony at the Fairmont Chicago, but public nominations are now being accepted. You can nominate in 11 categories, including chef of the year, rising chef, pastry chef, best mixologist and more. The top four names in each category will appear on the ballot. Last year, Giuseppe Tentori took chef of the year while Next won best fine dining. [EaterWire]
