He'll be swaying for sure, come Friday, when Rhodes and several other judges will taste the creations of 20 Valley chefs. Come taste -- and vote in our People's Choice Award. Smeeks and Chow Bella's Caramelpalooza starts at 7 p.m. Friday, April 5 in the parking lot just east of UNION at Biltmore Fashion Park.

You can buy tickets Friday night, or get them now online. Proceeds benefit the Arizona Humane Society; tickets are 5 for $10.
