Two iconic chefs' personalities combine to
create Good & Evil Chocolate Bar now available for sale
exclusively through Williams-Sonoma
Williams-Sonoma announced today the exclusive launch of a
chocolate collaboration between Eric Ripert and Anthony Bourdain
called the Good & Evil Chocolate Bar. Inspired by the
friendship and personalities of Eric Ripert and Anthony
Bourdain, the chocolate has been crafted in the traditional
European style by Master Chocolatier Christopher Curtin of Éclat
Chocolate using Fair Trade organic cacao beans. The bar is
distinguished by its velvety smoothness and intensely complex
flavor that combines the pleasures of "good" food with the heavenly
"evil" of pure indulgence.

“We are proud to be working with these guys and to be the
exclusive retailer of their sinfully delicious chocolate,” said
Janet Hayes, President of Williams-Sonoma. "Anthony and Eric
partnering on this product is incredibly exciting as we know it
will be well received by fans of both chefs and chocolate lovers
alike.”
Anthony Bourdain commented, “A little guilt, in appropriate
amounts, can only make one's simple pleasures better. This bar
contains the perfect blend of good ingredients and evil intent.
Enjoy it at your peril. You'll be back for more.”
“Unlike Anthony, I don’t believe in guilty pleasures,” added
Eric Ripert. “I see no evil, hear no evil, taste no evil! The
distinctive flavors and sense of umami will make you savor every
piece. It’s pure pleasure.”
The Good & Evil Chocolate Bar is comprised of 72% premium
cacao, pairs beautifully with red wine, coffee or espresso and is
available for sale both in stores and online at
Williams-Sonoma.
To celebrate the Good and Evil Chocolate Bar launch, Anthony and
Eric will be making an appearance at the Williams-Sonoma Columbus
Circle store in New York on December 2nd at 5:00pm to sign
chocolate bars and cookbooks for fans. Customers can purchase
chocolate bars as well as a copy of Anthony and Eric’s latest
cookbooks in advance by visiting:
