Salon de Chocolat

Continuing along the theme of things the French do well... This weekend - Sat and Sun the 14th and 15th is the San Francisco International Chocolate Salon. YUM!

Hosted at Fort Mason, you can participate in chocolate tastings, demos, chef talks, wine pairings, and 2 things that make me very curious - chocolate painting and chocolate spa and makeup. Hmm. And just looking at their schedule of events - you don't have to worry about missing church on Sunday because at 2:30 there's a talk called "Chocolate and Meditation: Demonstration and talk on the spirituality of chocolate tasting," by Rev. R.M. Peluso. Sounds like my kind of religion!

But don't be skeptical of these funky takes on chocolate - the high class favorites will be well represented. XOX Truffles, Charles Chocolates, and many others will be there too.

Vive le Chocolat!
