### Soup Angels Outreach Program
Tuesday, February 10 • Lakewood • 20 Seats Only
Prepare yourself for an unforgettable night of indulgence, creativity, and chocolate‑kissed culinary magic. I’m opening my home in Lakewood for a special family‑style Souper Tuesday featuring three interactive Chocolate Indulgence Stations designed to surprise, delight, and stretch the imagination of what chocolate can do.
This is part of our new series of themed events celebrating the launch of Make‑It‑Souper Soup Bowls, and on this night, you’ll help me test a bold new idea: Chocolate‑infused global broths that may become a permanent part of our lineup. So come ready to taste, explore, and yes… Guinea Pig up.

• Zinfandel — jammy, bold, and chocolate‑loving
• Malbec — dark fruit and cocoa are best friends
• Ruby Port — a natural match for dessert
• Sparkling Rosé — bright enough to cut through richness

• Old Fashioned with orange bitters
• Espresso Martini for a mocha‑meets‑magic vibe
• Spiced Rum or Aged Dark Rum
