### 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.

## 🍫 Station 1: The Chocolate Garden Salad Bar

Build your perfect salad with:

• A house‑crafted chocolate‑infused vinaigrette
• Bright, crunchy, colorful garnishments
• Fresh greens and toppings that make the chocolate shine

## 🍫 Station 2: The Chocolate Global Broth Bar

Featuring the three new broths you’ll help me test:

• Aztec Ember Chocolate Broth
• Parisian Midnight Cocoa‑Mushroom Broth
• Ghanaian Cocoa‑Ginger Pepper Broth

Pair them with your choice of:

• 10 Wholesome Grains
• 10 Clean Proteins
• 10 Organic Garden Vegetable Combos

Build, taste, remix — this is your playground.

## 🍫 Station 3: Chocolate Desserts & Sweet Treats

A curated spread of chocolate goodies to close the night with joy.

## Event Details

• Date: Tuesday, February 10
• Location: My home in Lakewood
• Style: Family‑style seating at two communal tables
• Seats: Only 20 reserved spots
• Cost: $10 per person (covers your seat; no‑shows still support the goodies prepared)

## 🍷 BYOB — Optional but Welcome

You’re invited to bring a beverage to share with fellow guests if you’d like. You’re not obligated to bring alcohol — we will provide water, tea, coffee, and full cocoa service for the evening.
If you do want to bring something, here are some guest‑friendly pairings that complement the chocolate‑infused menu beautifully:

### Beer Pairings

• Porters or Stouts — especially chocolate, coffee, or vanilla‑leaning
• Belgian Dubbels or Quads — rich, fruity, and perfect with cocoa
• Amber Ales — balanced and great with savory chocolate broths

### Wine Pairings

• 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

### Cocktails & Spirits

• Old Fashioned with orange bitters
• Espresso Martini for a mocha‑meets‑magic vibe
• Spiced Rum or Aged Dark Rum
• Amaretto or Hazelnut Liqueur
• Baileys‑style cream liqueurs for dessert pairing

Bring something you love, or simply come as you are — the night will be delicious either way.
Cheers, Chef Gary W. Irvin II Soup Angels Outreach Program
