tiny little magazine shop and home to more chocolate bars than you can
imagine. No really, despite their tiny size, they supposedly have the
largest selection of chocolate bars in all of San Francisco. So why'd
I go there?to pick up a delicious chocolate bar of course!
You see fog city news loves their customers and even have a membership
club (it's free and pretty much it means they'll email you when
specials occur), and today they had special Xocolatl de David
chicharron bar made with 4505 meats chicharrones. There were only 60
bars available and some even had golden tickets for a fance pig
dinner. you had to be a member (yes they even checked) and you could
only buy one bar. Sadly, I did not receive the golden ticket, but I
did get to taste the bar and that was alright by me.
So how'd it taste? Well the texture was a bit like a crunch bar, only
saltier and with a slight porky flavor. I liked the novelty of it (and
prefer it to the Vosges bacon bar), but sort of wish the chicharron
flavor stood out more. It's actually a really subtle bar, the
chocolate is smooth and rich and sort of overpowering, but when you do
get a bite, wowee zow it's neat. The spice and flavor first pop in
your mouth and then melt away.
Ps. How is it that I can leave the house looking so fresh and clean,
but come lunchtime look like a disheveled mess?
