I just tried Marcolini's which I swear squirted champagne but I still have to give the edge to Teuscher's (Rock Center or 60th and Mad(?)). Any other contenders?

(also great here: passion fruit chocolates in the shape of a heart) Tue Jan 30 10:57:45 -0800 2007 2241892 12920 jessica 1 2241968 Problem with Kee's is that she makes what she wants and doesn't have a set "menu" of always available choices. Is there a reason why champagne truffles are preferred? If so, then you should go where you are sure to get them. I'm not sure if I have seen them at Black Hound, but if so, that would be another good option. I would call first.

Tue Jan 30 11:03:04 -0800 2007 2241968 10985 MMRuth 1 2242099 I've had a lot of chocolates, and a lot of champagne truffles (they're one of my favorites, and I try them whenever I see new ones from chocolatiers I haven't tried yet), and it must be said that I haven't found a better champagne truffle than Teuscher's...that being said, I very much look forward to any recommendations that may prove me wrong! On the other end of the spectrum, I was sorely disappointed in Jacques Torres' champagne truffles. They weren't bad, per se, they were just not fantastic. I thought if they'd spent more time on the chocolate, and less time on the cutesy champagne cork shape, they'd have a better result.

A bit different than your average bon-bon style truffles.

Outstanding-the creme brulle is amazing! Sat Apr 14 09:30:53 -0700 2007 2242246 10173 guttergourmet
