If you want referrals, chocolate never hurts

Strawberries_1 I happened to have lunch yesterday at Chef's Corner (in Williston, Vermont) the same very nice French bakery/cafe where I had dined the day before.

Midway through the meal, one of the chef/owners appeared and presented my dining companion and me with two beautiful, sumptuous chocolate-covered strawberries. "These," he announced, "are to say thank you for eating with us two days in a row."

I'll be telling my friends about this. Heck, here I am telling the world about it.

What's the chocolate-covered strawberry in your practice?
