Just in time for the most romantic/depressing day of the year, ten Michelin-starred chefs created this pricey yet limited-edition box of artisan chocolates. It costs $100. It involves chocolates concocted by an astounding collection of chefs. All proceeds go to benefit noted child-hunger campaign Share Our Strength.
The chefs -- some working in collaboration with their parenthetically noted pastry chefs below -- include:
- The French Laundry | Thomas Keller (Milton Abel)
- Benu | Corey Lee (Courtney Schmidig)
- Atelier Crenn | Dominique Crenn (Juan Contreras)
- Restaurant Gary Danko | Gary Danko (Lisa Vega)
- SPQR | Matthew Accarrino
- Aziza | Mourad Lahlou (Melissa Chou)
- Michael Mina | Michael Mina (Lincoln Carson)
- Quince | Michael Tusk (Devin McDavid)
- Boulevard | Nancy Oakes (Lisa Lu)
- La Folie | Roland Passot (Mie Uchida)
You should get one -- especially for the local gastronome in your life (or, even better, for that food writer in your life who likes fancy things in a box.)
