If you want (and who in this world doesn't) some OUTSTANDING-and I mean OUTSTANDING- hand-made chocolate, go to Atelier de Chocolat in Downtown Ventura when on your next visit. Tell Ben and Audrey that you saw them mentioned on John's Erle Stanley Gardner web site and that he said to give you a free sample of this wonderland chocolate, courtesy of Phantom Bookshop. They are located at 442 East Main Street, just a few doors down from the Gardner Bank Building, same side of the street. Good people!

Atelier de Chocolat in Downtown Ventura...and there's Audrey peeking out of the corner...Ben (aka Bernard) is a master chocolate maker and is somewhere on the premises pouring chocolate onions. His chocolate is world famous. Erle would have definitely frequented this establishment...
