Among the novelties at Chocobar Cortés, in the Bronx, are habanero-and-chocolate chili sauce, chocolate guacamole, and chocolate ketchup.
Sometimes innovations come from insiders who toil for years at their craft. And sometimes an untrained outsider, oblivious to the rules, tries something totally bananas, and it works. Such is the story of Chocobar Cortés, a self-styled “Caribbean chocolate restaurant,” in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico, that just opened an outpost in the South Bronx.
Nearly every menu item at Chocobar, whether sweet or savory, features Cortés chocolate among its ingredients. “I was making it up as I went,” the executive chef, Ricardo de Obaldía, said. “I had never eaten anything like that in my life.”
