Hi Casey,
I posted some pictures of the Chocolate Buffet at the Peninsula Chicago. I had a good time indulging on almost all the desserts (no room to taste them all). There were over 20 different kinds. Most of them were very good. There were a few I did not care for (was not impressed with the truffles, chocolate dipped orange peels were very hard and chewy). All in all a great experience. Chef Jimmy MacMillan did a nice job. Hope you enjoy your time in Chicago and let meknow what you think of the buffet.

Hi Casey,
Thanks for the photo tour. It is very generous of you to share your chocolate explorations with us and it is much appreciated! I am usually tied to my own place and may never visit some of these wonderful places to buy chocolate. If you are ever in Michigan, please stop in to say hello.

Thanks for posting the videos. I found them quite interesting. I'd seen the one with Michael Recchiuti before and was thinking of posting it but you beat me to it!

Thanks for joining The Chocolate Life. I took a brief look at The Chocolate Note and it looks very interesting. I hope that you will feel comfortable making the same or similar contribution here. Please feel free to cross post. This site is in its infancy, so please don't post the URL on your site yet. I see that you have a link to my Top Chef blog, but not DiscoverChocolate.com I look forward to learning more about chocolate in the Twin Cities and Midwest from you.
