A recent issue of The Food Institute Report highlighting top dining trends for 2007 predicts that chocolate will soon be appearing in many more forms on restaurant menus. Seems that the people at Tacos A Go-Go (3704 Main, 713-807-8226) are ahead of the curve with their chocolate taco ($1.25), a fabulously simple dish. They take a flour tortilla, place a Hershey bar in the middle, cover it with cinnamon, heat it in a pan until it melts, fold it over itself, sprinkle confectioner’s sugar on top and cut it into four delicately sized pieces, so as to prevent you from eating the whole thing in one go. Craving satisfied (at least for the moment).
