The Chocolate Salon was chocolatey, gooey, luscious and indulgently great! It was also insanely crowded - the lineups just for will call tickets were an hour long - next year they need to hold it in a building 2-3 times the size of this one - and def in a place with some ventilation... lots of people looked like they were ready to pass out. I am not sure why they didn't anticipate a massive crowd for chocolate - DOH!

What a turnout (and what suny weather!)

Next year we're already looking at either going back to the 2-day format of the Salon in 2007 or going to a much larger space.

Stay tuned.
