After four years as Executive Pastry Chef at NYC’s storied Gotham Bar and Grill, Ron Paprocki (one of DP’s Top Ten Pastry Chefs in 2011) has launched a line of chocolate appropriately named Gotham Chocolates. His chocolate studio is a 28-square-foot corner in the Gotham Bar and Grill kitchen where he painstakingly crafts his bonbons and new line of chocolate bars (including the Independent bar, made from a proprietary blend of foraged Bolivian and Ecuadorian cacaos). Gotham Chocolates are available for sale at the restaurant and on-line. www.gothambarandgrill.com
