- Most memorable chocolate experience:
- When I took a chocolate class with Jacques Torres at FCI last year and then decided to start my own chocolate e-commerce business, Simply Euphoric Chocolate. Also, the first chocolate Bon Bon I made - a double roasted hazelnut milk chocolate - I took a bite and then laughed to myself and said out loud, "That's some pretty good shit!" At that point, I knew I had a really special talent.
- My favorite chocolate is:
