Aside from coding, yoga, and travel, I’m a HUGE chocoholic. I prefer daily intakes of dark chocolate in bar form, nothing less than 70% will do, but I also make truffles, and occasionally indulge in making dark chocolate crème brûlée.
You can find me on Saturdays at the Chocolate Garage in downtown Palo Alto, sampling bars of dark chocolate from around the world.
I’m starting a new series of visiting chocolate shops across the world and posting video tours of my visits for others to enjoy.
Today I visited Fran’s in downtown Seattle, WA near Pike’s Place. Fran’s has been open since 1982 (coincidentally the year I was born). Originally Fran was into making confections, and would hand out truffles to people who were standing in line waiting to buy her confections. But then people started mainly coming for the truffles so her business shifted from confections to making mostly truffles. My favorite is the Single Malt Whiskey Truffle. If you’re not fortunate enough to live near Seattle you can order some of her amazing truffles online.
Enjoy! 🙂
P.S. Thanks to Lyndi Thompson for introducing me to Fran’s!
