First WCDish, then Vogue - where to next? (in Behind the Food)

West Chester’s very own Chris Curtin, master chocolatier and owner of Eclat
Chocolate on High Street, is featured in the current February issue of
Vogue! If you remember correctly, Curtin was WCDish’s very first interview -
looks like our locally based website knows what’s hot, and on a much larger
scale than we thought! In an article titled, “Dark Victory”, Jeffrey
Steingarten sampled enough chocolate to make a person sick, and after many
hours of contented deliberation, decided that Eclat’s chocolates
(specifically liquid caramels) were among the best and tastiest in the
world! Other finalists included Enstrom’s, Guido Gobino, and La Maison du
Chocolat. Unfortunately, Steingarten’s article is not available online, so
hurry up and buy this month’s Vogue and check out our local celebrity!

Now that is cool: Eclat in Vogue. How the hell did he pull that one off? Way to go Mr. Curtin!

I’m so proud of our Chris! He’s making super yummy golden mummies too to tie into the King Tut exhibit at The Franklin Institute. Check out the gold leaf chocolates for yourself at his store.

Mummies never tasted so good. Wait. That sounds gross doesn’t it?

Comment Guidelines

Be Respectful. Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?: Although the old saying, "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all," is swell, we encourage constructive feedback (ie, be polite), and recommend backing-up your comments with evidence/witnesses.
Be Honest. Look where it got Abe Lincoln. Well, before the evening at the theater.: We don't recommend complaining just for the sake of it (see number 1), but if you have a legitimate comment, it should be shared. Also, don't hesitate to disagree with other comments, even if your opinion is in the minority. If patrons aren't honest about their experiences, restaurants won't know that there is room for improvement. And there always is.
Be Specific. "The food was good" doesn't cut it.: Each dining experience is unique, so if a dining experience moves you in any way, by all means, share the details. Choose the sensory details that impacted your experience the most and describe them in your postings. Other foodies will gobble it up—literally.
Be Concise. 'Nuf said.: What? We thought it was pretty clear the first time.
Be Helpful. Sort of like how the elves and reindeer help Santa.: Will what you have to say improve the restaurant's ability to provide impeccable service and improve the dining experience for others (again, see number 1)? If so... help away.
Show a Little Pride. No Jane or John Does please.: If you are too embarrassed to put your name as the commenter, you probably should re-evaluate your comments (you know the drill... see number 1). If you have sensitive information that you feel needs to be passed along, please use your best judgment and e-mail it to us to avoid public posting. We don't want you to have any post-post regrets.
Don't Name Names. Let's not get too personal here.: We know you want to share your experiences, both good and bad, but this isn't the place to publicly condemn or praise individual people. Feel free to comment on "the service", "the chef", or "the staff", but any positive or negative mention of specific names will be moderated.
