Hampton Roads Yelpers Throw Down At Yelp's In Chocolate Heaven

From chocolate covered apples to sea salt flavored bites to white chocolate with lemon zest it’s no wonder Yelp’s In Chocolate Heaven. Dentists throughout Hampton Roads are going ape nuts this week thanks to this stellar Elite event hosted by Virginia Beach Town Center duo The Royal Chocolate and Simply Fresh Café & Market.

Yelp Elites and friends had the honor of having a special learning and tasting experience of chocolates from all over the world courtesy of Brenda Tusing and Terry Restin, the owners of The Royal Chocolate. When it comes to washing all this down, Linda Wilson with Simply Fresh Café & Market, made the perfect red and white pairings with Joel Gott wines.

“It’s no surprise that great chocolate and tasty wine will always be a hit.” And what do you get when you throw Yajaida P in the mix? A 5-star review! Greg F “can’t put into words how delicious” the white chocolate covered apples were. His wife, Christie F, feels the same way as she floats on cloud nine with her wine pairing.

The name of the place is The Royal Chocolate so what better way to celebrate the occasion? Dress like your royalty! After all, being a Yelp Elite is a special privilege.

Thank you again to our friends with The Royal Chocolate and Simply Fresh Café & Market for hosting us. A special thanks to Yelp Elite, Vanessa G, who showed off her fantastical behind the lens skills by taking shots of us Yelp Elites on our sugar high.
