Fran’s Chocolates Gets Some Love from the U.K.

The Guardian posts an article about the Seattle confectionary.

2

On Tuesday Slog pointed us to cool news: local company Fran’s Chocolates is garnering headlines abroad.

Earlier this week the U.K. Guardian ran a story about how Obama is a sucker for Fran’s unbelievably delicious salted caramels. As such the author predicts an “inevitable invasion” of the salty sweet.

Apparently those across-the-ponders are slow on the uptake—not only is Obama’s infatuation old news, salted caramel has been ballyhooed here in Seattle for the past year, practically to the point of oversaturation.

I for one would be perfectly content if I never again saw a salted caramel cupcake. Anyone in agreement with me?

P.S. Way to do us proud, Fran’s!

Three Seattle Restaurants Make OpenTable’s Most Romantic 2010

What do you think of OT’s picks?

Springhill

Lowlit and intimate, Spring Hill is romantic by night. And the food is great all the time.

Just saw this on Eater.com. For Valentine’s Day, Open Table listed 50 romantic restaurants around the country. In Seattle: Chez Shea, Il Bistro, and Canlis.

The two market spots are admittedly romantic, and happy hour at Il Bistro is a thing of beauty. But they’re also a little bit…how to say…past their prime. And Canlis is such a no-duh choice. If I had to pick just three romantic Valentine’s destinations where the food is also up to snuff: Crush (although it’s already booked), Spring Hill, and Spinasse.

What are your three?
