<p style="text-align: justify;">But there&#8217;s good chocolate, dear hedonists, not-so-good chocolate, and &#8211; at least some would argue &#8211; flat out <em>bad</em><strong> </strong>chocolate.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Who knew seafood, raw food, and chocolate could go so well together?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Last month, your <a href="http://www.heedthehedonist.com/about" target="_blank">Hedonista</a> gave a fine review &#8211; a gold star, in fact &#8211; to <a href="http://www.heedthehedonist.com/seastar-gets-a-gold-star" target="_blank">Seastar Restaruant and Raw Bar</a>. It was then I sampled a couple of their chocolate truffles as a media comp &#8211; and promptly returned to purchase more (hope they give me an ongoing media rate)!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">They offer six flavors; in my order of preference, they are: semi-sweet dark chocolate, chili pepper, orange dark chocolate, hazelnut, Bailey&#8217;s Irish cream, and cappuccino. They sell one of each on their dessert menu for $10.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So go forth and tasteth, dear hedonists &#8230; for these tasty two+-bites-a-truffle (they aren&#8217;t small) definitely land themselves in the &#8220;good chocolate&#8221; category.</p>
<h6><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Note</span>: In order to comply with FTC Act 16 C.F.R. 255, </em>Heed   the Hedonist<em> would like to disclose that it does receive media “comps” and/or media discounts – but <span style="text-decoration: underline;">not</span> in   exchange for favorable coverage, or for withholding unfavorable   coverage, of the given venue/meal/performance/product/service.</em></h6>
