The Enlightened Gourmet Inc. (OTCBB:ENLG), reports its Absolutely Free® gourmet ice cream bar was a big success during the opening weekend of Chicago's annual food fest; The Taste of Chicago. The event is the world's largest food festival, held annually for 10 days in Chicago. Every year, more than 3 million Chicagoans and tourists from around the world flock to Grant Park to enjoy the variety of food prepared by about 70 of Chicago's most popular restaurants. The Enlightened Gourmet teamed up with the Abbey Pub, Chicago's premiere Irish Pub and music venue, to offer its best selling Double Chocolate Swirl Bar. Participation in the Taste of Chicago is part of the Company's plan to introduce its great tasting ?Good for You? ice cream to the Chicago area.

The event is focused on healthy eating, which is why the Abbey Pub is featuring Absolutely Free® a fat and lactose free, no sugar added ice cream bar to demonstrate that healthy foods can taste great. At only 80 calories, the Absolutely Free® bar has the lowest number of calories of any 4 ounce ice cream bar, but still has the taste and texture of a full fatted ice cream bar which has significantly more calories. People were amazed at how good it tasted for having only 80 calories and no fat or added sugar. The ice cream is also lactose free; a benefit to people who are lactose intolerant. Lactose intolerance is a stomach ailment that afflicts about 20% of all Americans, and more than half of certain ethic groups like Asians, Hispanics and African Americans.
