Liezl: After eating a super savory breakfast and 4 hot dogs, we were in need of a sweet treat. Monks saw online that one of Giada De Laurentiis's favorite place to eat is The Chocolate Bar. So here we are in Encino, probably 20 minutes after eating at Fab's ready for sugar.
Of course I had to brag to more people that we were on this food road trip, so I told the owners there that we saw online that the famous Giada De Laurentiis loves this place. They have never heard of Giada visiting, so they started looking online. Yeah we realize later that she never went. Online it says that one of her favorite things was a chocolate bar at someplace. Whoops!
Being a fan of variety, we got a small box of chocolates which included: dark chocolate coconut, dark chocolate caramel with red Hawaiian sea salt (can't go wrong with caramel and salt! one of my faves), Oaxca something with ancho and Mexican pepper, caramel mushroom (it only looked like a mushroom, not tasted like one!), peanut butter dark chocolate, and hazelnut crunch truffle (big fan!). I took a bite of almost every single one and realized that I was too damn full to eat anymore. But the trip must continue!! Michelle calmed her belly with a Mayan truffle tea.
monks: not a fan of sweet...but i did try some candy and the ones that had dark chocolate and the salt were interesting and yummy...they were giving out these samples of what seemed like hot chocolate with gelato...i think it was really some kind of chcolate liquid truffle with creme fresh and vanilla bean...which is just a fancy version of what i said...that was pretty damn good though =)
