David Bacco, our newest client, is a heckuva artisan. He's a San Diego-based chocolatier who uses a rigorous approach to making some of the best chocolate we've ever eaten. As the holidays approach, it's tempting to wow food-loving family and friends with imported Belgian truffles and the like, but we're fortunate to have a top-notch chocolatier nearby. No need for hassling with -- or paying for --overseas shipping. Visit David Bacco Chocolatier's website for details about ordering.

Frank queried the San Diego newcomer about his favorite places to grab lunch, sit down for a fancy schmancy meal and delight in a warm piece of chocolate cake, among other things. it was David's first interview since joining the PlainClarity family -- and he was great.
