The Mast Brothers

The Mast Brothers chocolate factory is New York City's only bean to bar chocolate factory. These photos [via The Selby] illustrate the whole process by which the cacao beans are roasted, ground up, processed, aged, tempered and packaged. There is a dedication to purity and an intensity of flavor in their chocolate which is very unusual.

Must visit this place. (via enthusiasm unbridled)

Great Lake, A Chicago Pizza Shop

Mr. Lessins makes every pizza by hand. “No man is slower,” wrote GQ’s food critic, Alan Richman. “He makes each as though it is his first, manipulating the dough until it appears flawless, putting on toppings one small bit after another. In the time he takes to create a pie, civilizations could rise and fall, not just crusts.” Mr. Richman declared the Great Lake Mortadella pie one of the best pizzas in America — and that is when the trouble started.
