JP Eats Food Blog. Welcome to my food (and wine) blog. I am very lucky to enjoy good food and wine pretty frequently. I also spend a good deal of time learning and experimenting with both. The point of this blog is to share some of that with you as well as help me remember foods, wines, and little bits and pieces of information I pick up along the way. I rarely take pictures in nice restaurants, so most of what you see here comes from my kitchen, my friends' kitchens, or various casual and local hot spots. You can hit the archive, or never miss a post with rss.



Christopher Elbow chocolates. I don’t think I can praise this place enough—it might be the best chocolate shop/ confectioner I’ve been to in the US. Pictured is a fleur de sel turtle, which I thought was the best of the best. Also, the Venezuelan Spice “liquid chocolate” is the best cup of hot chocolate I’ve ever had, down to the homemade vanilla marshmallows. My previous favorite had been Chuao’s Spicy Maya hot chocolate, but this was a whole new level. Thanks to Hrönn and David for the tip!
