And those three words are? Frozen Hot Chocolate, of course. Yes, you can get many other things at Jacques Torres, and, if your aural passages (to say nothing of your oral passages) respond better to words such as “truffle,” or, more simply, “candy bar,” you can get those here as well. The truffles are indeed brilliant (try the basic XOXO one first, then move on), the candy bars pack ten times the punch of your standard Hershey’s, and the packaging will definitely get you an extra base that night. But, for those glorious DUMBO mornings, there is the Frozen Hot Chocolate; a hot chocolate that’s been sitting in the fridge since the night before, then iced up in a blender the next morning for your choco-pleasure. Are you kidding? No, we’re not kidding. F*** YES, baby!
