They have been adapted to roast coffee and cocoa beans. I think they are actually brand new.

They are a sponsor of the Chocolate Festival. As to what they get out of it - I'm not sure. 

[JoNorvelleWalker]

Some of the worst chocolate I've had (that was supposed to be good chocolate) came from a bulk bin in Whole Foods.

They were indeed! Though @Alleguede was shocked by the green beans and potatoes on a couple of his.

So we wandered out this evening in search of a drink. Hotel bar is noisy with weird lighting. As we were returning from our Trader Joe’s run earlier we passed a restaurant attached to the FIG facility where the Festival was held - it looked inviting. So we headed there - turns out to be an Argentinian steak house called 348. 

 

Now what do you drink at an Argentinian joint? Caipirinha of course!

 

 

strawberry variation for the boy

 

 

aged cachaca version for me

They brought us toast! Smells and tastes wonderful 

 

 

look at that grill - next year steak in this place

I thought I did that a long time ago... maybe it was the lack of an official ceremony.

@Alleguede said of his sample - "this is chicken?" To be fair - he is French.

just to put in my two cents :

 

Chicken Fried Steak

 

when done well , 

 

is delicious

 

otherwise

 

chewy ( for the CFS )  and gloppie ( for the gravy )

 

too bad yours was not decent.

 

BTW

 

those tacos really did look like the real deal

 

green beans aside.
