Choco-Me-Crazy Brooklyn Chocolate Experiment Recap


By Experimental Culinary Pursuits (Visit website)




 

Twas the day of the Chocolate Experiment

And all through the Bell House

Chefs busily prepped their stations

With hopes of obtaining some ”wow’s”

 


Savory creations led the way

Their aromatic flavors filling the air

Succulent, tasty, and umami

They fearlessly challenged and dared




Yours Truly

Bonnie Suarez's Umami Chocolate Black Beans with Roasted Cauliflower & Pork Belly (My personal favorite)


Jill Strominger?s Ole! Mole, (And the sweetest "neighbor" I could ask for!)


The sweet and scrumptious treats

Each more decadent and sinfully rich

They lured you with their siren song

And your tastebuds they bewitched

 


Roopa Marcello's Winning Thai Chili-Lime Chocolate Ice Cream (Sadly, I didn't get to sample this!)




Jordon Goldstein's Mango Sticky Rice Lolipops (sweet and slightly tangy, and delicious filling)






Pervaiz Shallwani and Rebecca Marx’s Chocolate Hush Puppies (My personal sweet favorite – just the right amount of sweetness with a satisfying crunch!)





Lily Olive?s PB & Hot Chocolate Truffles (A nice dude brought these over in exchange for samples of my dish. The cayenne really gets you at the end and I found that to be a pleasant surprise)





Attic Sugar Bakery?s Hazelnut Brownies (Again didn’t get to taste this, but who am I to contest Andrew Knowlton & judge’s 3rd place pick?)


The voracious chocoholics came streaming in

Seeking the holy chocolate grail

The chefs didn’t disappoint

The chocolate poured in without fail

 



 

With a beer in one hand and plate in other

The crowd casted votes on a chocolate high

The judges sniffed, tasted, savored and licked

All the chilis, cookies, cakes, and pies

 


My plate of goodies brought over by one of my gracious helpers. Too bad it was knocked over before I could finish it all :(




The judges deep in deliberation




The vivacious hosts Nick and Theo

Charmed the crowd with banter and cheer

The winners were announced

And congratulated with prizes and beer

 



 

An afterparty followed

Of which the Experimental Chef missed

Tired from the long long day

And a sick sous chef at home to kiss

 

So ends another Experiment

Hope you had your fill of cocoa craze

“Oh chocolate, how do I love thee

Let me count the ways”
