This is so random I know, but with all the events going on for the holidays… I feel like I have been everywhere in the last week, and wanted to share a clip of it with you… so here is a crazy video of my favorite event so far!  It was from the “world of chocolate” event to benefit aids last Thursday where I had to judge 30 of the best chocolate dishes from the best chefs in chicago!
As you will see, its packed, the music is pumping, the crowd is fun, and there was chocolate everywhere!  You probably can also tell I was flying high on sugar doing my best to take it down as a judge- and omg- it was way harder to physically eat that much chocolate, and to think straight while doing it in effort to pick who was best out of all our chicago talent!
Anyway, sorry it looks crazy, but did it on the fly w/my flip for ya by myself… I wasn’t planning on it, but just got so impressed w/the experience, and wanted to share… and not just because there were so many sweets, but because there were 1700 ish people who came through, selling the event out, donating over $200,000!!!! How great is that!  So happy to be a part of it…
Speaking of my role as judge, I guess I can say who I voted for now… I think it’s been announced?  But first, shout out to terry’s toffee, truffle truffle, sweet margy & everyone else who knocked me out w/the best dessert experience ever!  As for the best of the best?  I voted for the Peninsula hotel!  and a little tip, they have a full on gourmet chocolate buffet & live jazz every Friday & Saturday night… so it’s all right there for you to experience too!  Enjoy!
