Laura Roden of the Angels Forum
tipped me off to the “Chocaholic” event currently in progress (July 18-23) at San Francisco’s
supperclub (which is an Angels Forum investee). I have not yet visited the supperclub, but apparently it’s an
international restaurant / nightclub (other locations in Amsterdam,
Rome, and Istanbul)
which combines gourmet food and drink with an art gallery and live
performances. Without having experienced
it, I can’t claim to know what all goes on at the supperclub, but it suffices to
say that the web site describes Chocaholic as a “chocolate fantasy” in which
you will not only taste the delicious flavors of chocolate but you will see,
smell, and feel it. Those of you with
recent experience feeding newborns may feel that this is hitting a bit too close to home, but when else
can you experience live chocolate syrup wrestling? (Specifically white chocolate, because milk
chocolate wrestling is so ordinary!) As
one of my favorite humorists Dave Barry is fond of saying, I am not making this
up.
All kidding aside, thanks Laura for
the tip, and if somebody makes it up to the supperclub, I want to hear about
it!

Maybe they use white chocolate for wrestling because it's not really chocolate anyway...you wouldn't want to waste the good stuff!

Frighteningly enough, the guys who run supperclub in SF are old friends of mine from Stanford. I haven't made my way up there yet though.

Chris, I knew you were involved somehow! Fess up, Chocaholic is your brainchild, right?!

That's right folks - chocolate is the theme! Our new Chef Jon Stevens' has developed an amazing flight of chocolaty tastes. Each course is infused with a bit of chocolate (e.g., dayboat scallops in a white lavender chocolate sauce). Chocolate visuals, tasting, music, performances, etc. Response has been very positive, so we are extending "chocaholic" through the end of the month. Plus, white chocolate syrup wrestling - tonight only! Chris, get on down here!
