424422 Tue Jul 24 19:16:03 -0700 2007 21 14 Washington DC & Baltimore Area 0 2780200 I'm dying to try the new bacon bar. Does anyone know of any retailers in the DC/Balt metropolitan area? I actually live in Norfolk, and haven't had any luck there. But I'm in the metro area just about every week. I'll be in Batimore and Annapolis tomorrow and then in Bethesda & Tenley Park areas on Thursday. Thanks so much!! Tue Jul 24 19:16:03 -0700 2007 10556 geg5150 1 2780479 I'd call Dean & DeLuca in Georgetown Park first -- they used to stock Vosges. Is shopping the Vosges website an alternative? Tue Jul 24 21:20:32 -0700 2007 2780200 47574 bordeauxfan 2 2780508 They're out of stock on the vosges website. AND...besides that, it's about $25 shipping for an order of up to $25 and it just goes up from there. Thanks for the rec on D&D, I'll give them a call. Tue Jul 24 21:37:45 -0700 2007 2780479 10556 geg5150 1 2780907 I've also seen Vosges bars at the Balduccis in McLean. I don't know whether the other branches carry them, but it's worth a shot. Wed Jul 25 05:30:00 -0700 2007 2780200 61391 msbo78 2 2837561 I can report that the Balducci's in Bethesda doesn't carry any Vosges bars. :( Sun Aug 12 05:47:56 -0700 2007 2780907 118627 bokunenjin 3 2840743 Really? I recently bought one there, and I'm pretty sure they have them at the Balducci's in DC too. They don't have the bacon bar, but they have a selection of 5-7 different bars. Mon Aug 13 10:39:46 -0700 2007 2837561 38500 caphill2320 1 2781033 What is this chocolate bacon bar of which you speak? Sounds interesting -- is it an acquired taste or something your basic salty-sweet combo lover would enjoy? Wed Jul 25 06:34:31 -0700 2007 2780200 70560 pomme de terre 2 2781275 The Curious Grape in Shirlington has them. They were featured in a Vosges Chocolate and wine tasting a couple of weeks ago. The bacon bar was paired with a big Argentinean Tempranillo. YUM! Wed Jul 25 07:40:59 -0700 2007 2781033 114246 ATM 2 2781493 Bacon in the chocolate bar (link below). Thanks, Kevin http://www.vosgeschocolate.com/product/bacon_exotic_candy_bar/exotic_candy_bars Wed Jul 25 08:30:07 -0700 2007 2781033 10453 KOK 3 2781514 Two great tastes that taste great together. Interestingly, I haven't heard any negative feedback on this chocolate bar. I'm on the hunt, I'll report back. Wed Jul 25 08:35:42 -0700 2007 2781493 10556 geg5150 1 2781736 World Market, at least in FFX is carrying them but not the bacon bar. I am now addicted to the chipolte chocolate bar. They have that, the cajun bar and the one with sea salt. Wed Jul 25 09:19:30 -0700 2007 2780200 12633 rHairing 1 2788859 If you're still looking, I saw them at Baigio Chocolate on 18th St near Adams Morgan. They're on 18th between T and Florida. http://www.biagiochocolate.com/find.htm Let us know how it tastes! Fri Jul 27 08:53:34 -0700 2007 2780200 114763 jsu 2 2790505 Fabulous! I'm back home, but I'll be back in the city next week. I'll check 'em out. Thanks so much for the info! Fri Jul 27 16:32:31 -0700 2007 2788859 10556 geg5150 1 2791459 Ma Petite Shoe in Baltimore often carries Vosges bars. Sat Jul 28 07:33:07 -0700 2007 2780200 14252 sweetpotater 2 2797414 Mt. Washington Wines (right between the WF and Starbucks - in Mt. Washington obviously) also has Vosges. Mon Jul 30 14:33:04 -0700 2007 2791459 91207 bitey 3 2845856 Talked to the guy there today, and he said they expect to have the bacon bar in stock in about three weeks. Tue Aug 14 16:05:51 -0700 2007 2797414 108036 matt8313 1 2791471 I live in Ann Arbor, but they are selling the Vosges Bacon bars here at Whole Foods...might be worth checking out. Sat Jul 28 07:39:54 -0700 2007 2780200 114973 aachow 2 2791869 Nope, not in any of the WFMs here. Sat Jul 28 11:16:21 -0700 2007 2791471 10556 geg5150 1 2795623 The Curious Grape still has tons of them..they are a weird delight..smokey, salty and sweet..try a Malbec or Syrah with them..delicious! Mon Jul 30 07:20:13 -0700 2007 2780200 107769 antdistrict 1 2804593 I got it! I went to The Curious Grape in Arlington today and picked up: 2 Bacon bars 1 Barcelona -- hickory smoked almond, grey sea salt, dark milk chocolate 1 Naga -- sweet Indian curry, coconut, deep milk chocolate 1 Red Fire -- Ancho & chipotle chiles, cinnamon, dark chocolate 1 Black Pearl -- wasabi, ginger, black sesame seeds, dark chocolate 1 Creole Bar -- espresso, cocoa nibs, N. O. style chicory, Sao Thome bittersweet chocolate Oh my! I bought two of the Bacon Bars because I knew I couldn't wait for the drive home to Norfolk tomorrow night. Just tried it and it's great! The chocolate isn't too sweet and the bacon and salt are very smokey, the creamy and "crunchy" texture is a nice balance. I just can't decide whether it's better to chew it or let it melt in my mouth. The Curious Grape recommended 2004 Ebano Rivera del Duero Temperanillo to pair with the Bacon bar. Guess what we're doing this weekend? I'll be posting on the Wine board about my experience and suggestions for other bars. Bonus, the bars are only $5.99! Wed Aug 01 14:37:19 -0700 2007 2780200 10556 geg5150 2 2805112 Wegman's in Hunt Valley had the Naga, Red Fire and Barcelona. No bacon though. $4.99 each.
