Today I stopped in at Locolat in Adam's Morgan. I've been reading about it for a while and was glad to finally sample some of their sweets. I took it slow, having just polished off a chicken and waffle linner (you know, lunch-dinner) at Art and Soul. I only tasted the following: 1 pistachio macaron (the french kind), 1 milk chocolate caramel, 1 dark chocolate caramel, and 1 fleur de sel caramel. Each was delicious but the fleur de sel caramel was special. Her chocolate shell broke with just the right dentile force letting the smooth caramel ooze out, without dripping of course. And just when I started wondering if I'd taste the salt....BANG! There it was. That perfect balance of sweet and savory that reminded me so much the amazing chocolates in the sweetest of cities. Paris, bien sûr! After today, I'll be dreaming of them until my next trip there this October. Luckily I have Locolat to hold me over!

DC Sweets - Locolat
I live in the Washington, DC area and have for a few years now. I have to say, I'm so happy with how the culinary situation here continues to evolve. I'm even happier that some wonderful sweet shops seem to be popping up in force lately and while I'd like to keep them all to myself, I shall submit. But, only in hopes that I might move DC into full-fledged sweet frenzy!
