Known for its steampunk flair and over-the-top milkshakes, Toothsome is going gourmet for the holiday with inventive dishes that mix cocoa with classic French techniques, creative sauces, and savory pairings. Sous Chef Armando Diaz Valerio says, “We’re always experimenting with new ways to fuse flavors and types of chocolate — sometimes it’s trial and error, but that’s how we find something truly unique.”

Here’s what’s on the menu for this chocoholic celebration:

• Cocoa Chili Diver Scallops – A rich and spicy twist featuring chocolate-covered bacon, strawberry fennel salad, and a chocolate stout balsamic marinade.

• Chocolate Pomegranate Barbecue Pork Porterhouse – A hearty porterhouse pork chop paired with Brie and Gruyere truffle potato gratin, candied heirloom carrots, and cocoa chili pork chicharrones.

• Chocolate Beef Bourguignon – A bold reinvention of the French classic, with dark chocolate balancing the red wine base, roasted mushrooms, broiled broccolini, and gruyere potato puree.

• 7 Layer Chocolate Decadence Cake – The grand finale! Overflowing with chocolate ganache, topped with curls of dark chocolate and a sprinkle of popping candy for extra fun.

Chef Joseph Turner notes that chocolate changes everything in the kitchen: “When you add dark chocolate to a rich red wine sauce, it transforms the flavor completely — it’s unexpected and incredible.”

Whether you’re craving something sweet, savory, or a little of both, these specials make National Chocolate Day at Toothsome the ultimate excuse to indulge in your cocoa cravings.
