Welcome to my wacky world of chocolate!

Hello Everyone,

I´m not sure how I got to be this lucky...but an essential part of my job is to travel and find great sites for stores and restaurants to locate. The added bonus is that I get to shop and eat at all kinds of interesting places the world over.

As you may have read in Rosie’s magazine (February 2002), my two great LOVEs are my Family and my Chocolate.

For years, I have threatened to write about what I consider the great known and unknown chocolate desserts and products that I have experienced. Along the way, I picked up this web site "url" (www.eatmorechocolate.com) and began researching other web sites devoted to chocolate.

This site will change on a fairly regular basis. If you have a place I should visit or a product I should try, please let me know. I hope to begin publishing recipes of great "home" desserts from family and friends I sample along the way.

For me, when I eat chocolate I become a very happy person. For this reason, I will try to never write negatively about anything "chocolate". Also, because chocolate comes in so many different types and concoctions, everyone probably has a different idea about what is "the best". I only ask that you let me know your favorites so I can try them all!


Thanks for stopping by,

Joe

Greatest of All Time - PF Chang's Great Wall of Chocolate


AMAZING!!! A literal Great Wall of Chocolate Cake

I didn't even know PF Chang's had dessert other than Fortune Cookies, but boy was I wrong.

This could be the biggest best good old fashioned plain chocolate fudge cake I have ever had. This concoction has 6 layers of cake with chocolate fudge icing between and all around + chocolate chips all over the sides.

Available at PF Chang's (www.pfchangs.com), but you need to ask for it- never seen it on a menu.

Really good, while waiting for my 3rd kiddo to arrive- soon.

What A Birthday- a suprise 40th party!


Well, my beautiful wife does it again!! I love you Amy!

I love my family and I love chocolate.
Happy Birthday to me!

I really don't like surprises and birthdays are only terrific if you consider they are a natural excuse to eat more chocolate cake.


What I never expected was a Chocolate Themed Surprise Party that would be the feature in a national magazine!! I think all of my family and friends were just as surprised and we all were delighted when munching on "everything" chocolate from all over the world.

Rosie hired designers and decorators and chefs to make it the best of birthdays- chocolate style.

Thanks also to Heidi and Rosie for a grEAT night!!

Greatest Dessert Restaurant- Finale in Boston

Finale Dessert Company Boston
When I was in college, I wrote a business plan on creating a national chain of dessert restaurants. For over 20 years I have traveled the world searching for someplace that may be close to that dream. Now, I have finally found this place in Boston's famed Back Bay. Finale is a true gourmet dessert restaurant that lets you watch the pastry chef finish amazing desserts right in front of you. Get the Molten Chocolate Cake, it looks beautiful and tastes great.
Hats off to Paul Conforti and Kim Moore for having the same idea I did ( they created their plan at the Harvard Busines School) and for actually pulling it off! BRAVO!
