Famished Girl
Vosges Haut-Chocolat
There is an interesting phenomenon that sometimes occurs in long-term love relationships. It happens after several years, after you and your loved one have been through it all–giddy courtships, awkward getting-to-know-you moments, ridiculous quarrels, passionate apologies–when you finally feel at ease together. You and your partner are committed and walk together in a lyrical simpatico. Things run smooth and expected. You are resting in the calm water that is relationship homeostasis.
Then without warning something changes, and what once seemed absolutely unimaginable has become your reality: you have fallen even MORE in love. When this happens it catches you off guard; it may even take your breath away. You and your partner have reached a deeper level of intimacy. Your mind thinks only of the other and once again you have the butterflies of new love. What causes this exciting turn in a relationship can be anything from a major event to a simple shift of light in a room. For me it was a trip to Vosges Haut-Chocolat in Lincoln Park. And I am not talking here about falling into greater love with my boyfriend, I am talking about falling into greater love with chocolate.
Owner and chocolatier, Katrina Markoff has taken what is perfect on its own and made it even more intriguing and delightful. Who would have thought of mixing chocolate with curry or wasabi or paprika or fennel? The result is divine leaving this smitten kitten at a loss for words to accurately describe the sensuous experience of biting into one of these truffles. Visit Vosges Haut-Chocolat. You will be surprised by what you will find. Even better, you will fall in love with chocolate all over again.
Take note: This Lincoln Park location is just one of three Vosges chocolate boutiques in Chicago. Visit their website for all the delicious details.
