The GOODS from The Downlow Chicken Shack
Vancouver, BC | With the melting snow, something sweet hopes to melt hearts (and tastebuds) soon. DL Chicken Shack and BETA5 are going for the “hottest chocolate bar” mantle in Canada with the launch of their “Side of Milk” chocolate bar, starting Tuesday, January 21, 2020. Available exclusively at DL Chicken (905 Commercial Drive) and BETA5 (409 Industrial Ave), the bar features 66 per cent dark chocolate, DL chile Carolina Reaper dust blend, and crispy chicken skin.
“Adam and I were brainstorming on how we could work together on something sweet, savoury, and spicy,” says Doug Stephen, co-owner of DL Chicken Shack and Downlow Burgers. “The result is our Side of Milk chocolate bar. We’re really proud of it! The sweetness works so well with our Side of Milk chile dust. The spice lingers, and the crispy chicken skin gives it that saltiness and slight crunch.”
A limited number is available until Valentine’s Day on February 14, 2020. The Side of Milk also kick-starts BETA5’s collaboration series for 2020. A new bar will be dropped every month.
“We are looking forward to teaming up with some of Vancouver’s most talented chefs this year,” says Adam Chandler, co-owner of BETA5 Chocolates, named one of North America’s Top Ten Chocolatiers. “Doug and Lindsey were the first to bring Nashville Hot Chicken to Vancouver. The creative process was great – we couldn’t be happier with Side of Milk.”
