Meet Chocolate Experts at Fog City News in San Francisco

San Francisco’s Fog City News is indeed one of a kind — a Financial District newsstand that sells thousands of magazines, and hundreds of premium chocolate bars from around the world. I call that nourishment for the mind and the sweet tooth.

Best yet, the store often hosts chocolatiers to talk about their confections and answer questions. Noon to 2 p.m., Dec. 15, meet 27-year-old Ginger Elizabeth Hahn of Ginger Elizabeth Chocolates in Sacramento. Her handcrafted chocolate bars and bonbons are available exclusively in San Francisco at Fog City News. Some of her signature bonbon flavors include Orange Jasmine Tea, and Caramel Apple Tatin. The event is free.

In 2009, look for more chocolatiers at the store at more free events:

Noon to 2 p.m., Jan. 16: Katrina Markoff of Vosges Haut Chocolate.

Noon to 1:30 p.m., Jan. 20: Fran Bigelow of Fran’s Chocolates.

Noon to 2 p.m., Jan. 30: Richard Donnelly of Donnelly Chocolates.

Noon to 2 p.m., Feb. 6: Michael Mischer of Michael Mischer Chocolates.

Noon to 2 p.m., Feb. 10: John Scharffenberger of Scharffen Berger Chocolate Maker.
