E. Guittard Chocolate Launch 5 New Bars

I found out from my San Francisco Slow Food news letter, that E Guittard were launching a new range of chocolate bars at Fog City News a few blocks from my house in San Francisco's downtown. It was said, that if you turned up during the specified hour and bought one each of their 5 new bars of chocolate (total $18), that Guittard would give a $100 donation to Slow Food for every customer who made the required purchase.

This seemed like an easy way to raise one hundred bucks for a good cause, so some chocolate had to be purchased. Additionally, I had been wondering what to buy as a gift for another, very kind food blogger, Stella, who insisted on sending me some Ready Brek after I'd left a comment about it on one of her posts. I wanted a very San Francisco kind of pressie so what better than a new range of chocolate from a classic Bay Area Chocolatier? As you can see, Gary Guittard even signed one of the chocolate bars as a keep sake. I hope the chocolate finds a happy new home in Philadelphia (or in Stella).

Maybe Stella will be able to do a comparative taste test and report on the differences between the five chocolates. On the other hand, I think she should ignore that suggestion and just gobble it down and enjoy...!

Slow Food reported that they raised $1900 from this event.
