“Save room for dessert” has never been a wiser adage than when Mindy Segal’s sweets are on the line. The chef-owner of HotChocolate does things with sugar, flour and chocolate that persuade even the most die-hard Atkins adherents to say “just this once.” The namesake drink comes in multiple strengths depending on the level of chocolate intensity desired. Her Chocolate #1 dish includes both salty flavors, in the form of homemade pretzels and salted caramel ice cream, and bitter, in a dark-chocolate soufflé cake. Decadent as Segal’s creations are, we’ve never had trouble finishing one. 1747 N Damen Ave, 773-489-1747.

Same comment as another article. 20 pages (or more) shows total disrespect for site visitors. I was about to recommend this site to some discussion groups I am on but it is not going to happen now.
What are you folks thinking?

Naha is so expensive! I went there and could not believe how expensive both the food and wine were!
