Summary
Hello!
This week it's Michael Huffman in the studio talking about chocolate.
He's the brains and the tastebuds behind the Paris Chocolate Guru, a group that does chocolate walking and tasting tours in Paris.
We discuss where to find the best chocolate in Paris, what kind of chocolate to bring to a French dinner party, and Michael gets into detail about why chocolate is just as interesting as coffee and wine -- and just as important :)
Be sure to join the $10/Month group on Patreon to see our Walk Show video live on Thursday... it should be pretty sweet indeed.
