By Iron Chef Leftovers
Local chocolate maker (and favorite of Mrs. Iron Chef), Theo Chocolate, have been engaged in a project over the last couple of months where they brought in some heavy hitter, West Coast chefs to design their own Theo confection for a good cause – Food Lifeline. The result is the Theo Chocolate Chef Session Box which is described as:
The seven piece Theo Chocolate Chef Session box is the result of many hours of “what ifs” and possibilities brought about by these incredibly talented individuals. We are both excited and humbled that we are able to offer something so special, and it is important to us at the same time to share that abundance.
Here is the lineup. It reads like a who’s who of West Coast power chefs (and the confections sound amazing):
