This is part of the original post. The cartoon and the rest of it are now on my chocolate blog.

There was a sad obit in the LA Times this weekend: Robert Steinberg, who founded Scharffen Berger chocolate, passed away.

Here’s a review at Chocolate Obsession that compares one of their bars to wine. This reviewer at Candy Addict says she prefers their milk chocolate bars to the dark chocolate. The Food Paper agrees with me on the baking chocolate, and says:

Martha Stewart and Julia Child both are fond of it.

Then there’s Pioneer Woman’s comparison baking of brownies with Baker’s,  a Betty Crocker box mix, and Scharffen-Berger chocolate, on Serious Eats. Take a look. SB won.

Still. Total hyperbole in the Times article.  People can say whatever they want, but everyone knows that the new age of chocolate started when my chocolate book, “What Do Women REALLY Want? Chocolate!,” was published, in 2004.

That was the beginning, but of course this sort of movement never does have an ending. To that purpose, I’m pleased to announce that I just bought a new domain:  chocolatecartoons.com. Read Eat it and weep. The new chocolate.
