Who doesn’t love a little chocolate?
On today’s show we’ve got a guy who works with it every single day- chef Pedro Gómez. He’s here to talk about all things Chocolate: it’s rich flavor, the history of chocolate in Mexico and Pedro’s fascinating erotic chocolate sculptures.
We love to tease Pedro every year at the World of Chocolate for making very erotic chocolate sculptures and we’re pleased to have him in house to discuss his love for all things chocolate.
Pedro is a self-taught, award-winning Executive Pastry Chef for Calihan Catering in Chicago. His extensive chocolate creations have received many awards and critical acclaim, and he’s a pioneer in the confectionery arts as a openly gay Latino man.
Did you know it takes over 150 lbs of solid chocolate to make one of his hunky human sculptures? We didn’t, but there is lot we discover about chocolate on today’s show.
Chocolate or cacao was originally a savory beverage reserved for the upper class. It wasn’t until the Spanish brought it back to Europe that it was processed into the product that we know today. Learn more about chocolate at Chicago’s Field Museum website.
Join us as we chat about a Shangai crackdown on people wearing pajamas out in public. Wearing pajamas in public indicates wealth but authorities think its too obscene.
At first I thought it was a joke that Asians wore pajamas out on the the street like real clothes but Pedro insists that he sees it all the time in Little Chinatown which is just down the street form where we live. I’m going to have to keep my eye open for that. Anyone want to go for a Dim Sum reconnaissance mission?
The Benny Hillifier website will take any youtube video and apply the Benny Hill theme song to it. It’s fun to hear the Yackity Sacks music with the video but it would be really great if the Benny Hillifier could also speed up the video like the real Benny Hill.
Listen as we talk about the Pooping Obama Doll in Spanish nativity scenes, the world’s oldest brain and HIV tests at your hair salon.
Rich, thick flavor- Feast of Fools!

Hey guys,
Did you know that during the Inquisition, women in Latin America were not allowed to have chocolate because it was said that it made them uppity.
Thanks for playing chocolate rain at the end of the podcast…i need it. FINALS…almost done though.
I have been listening to this podcast for a while and every year when you guys go to the world of chocolate…i get so JEALOUS. One day though.

Nope, you don’t really want to see it anyway. OK. I’ll PM you it!
