The New York Times suggests that for those who love chocolate cake- there is a new ” Best Chocolate Cake in the World,” which is a Portuguese creation, now on sale at NoLIta in New York City. 

The times writes: “A restaurateur in Lisbon, Carlos Lopes, with his Manhattan partner, Adriano Lucas, created a version of a dacquoise he saw at Fauchon in Paris. Now Mr. Lopes’s shops sell his creamy confection in Portugal, Spain and Brazil, with a factory turning out 150,000 a year just in Portugal.” This is one of several culinary honors in recent months – first GQ Magazine called chef George Mendes one the top chefs in the world, and then Portuguese Chef Luisa Fernandes had string of victories on Food Network’s Chopped. Tastes like a trend?
