Berkeley Chocolate Club


		The Berkeley Chocolate Club was founded in 2003 by Leonard Pitt. The club came together informally out of a taste for chocolate and the pleasure of socializing around something that is pure fun. Members meet monthly in Leonard Pitt's cottage in North Berkeley. We keep our numbers to 14 or 15 simply because it is too difficult to accommodate more. If members cannot attend, we have a list of alternates ready to step in. Generally we keep to chocolate bars and taste a maximum of eight different selections each month. We started out with each member bringing a bar, but that was simply too much chocolate. We do dark chocolate only. Milk chocolate need not apply. Ditto w/ flavored chocolates. The chocolate is rated on a scale of 1 to 10. Coming soon is a meeting revolving around "The Best of the Worst." Aside from the truly wonderful and imaginative chocolates we have tasted, there have been some, well, what else can you say, lousy chocolate, or as the French would say, "chocolat execrable." We will assemble them all like a festival of B movies and select the worst, to find, in other words, the best of the worst. January, 2005 - Gloria cooks an unforgettable Chocolate Dinner for 24 guests.
