Since 2015, the Goo Goo Shop has collaborated with local chefs to offer the annual Summer Chef Series, a line of limited-edition Premium Goo Goo Clusters designed by some of the city’s best bakers and cooks. And this year was possibly the tastiest and most innovative yet. Chef Nina Singto of Thai Esane filled her confection with (very hot) Thai chili caramel, Rice Krispies and basil milk chocolate ganache; Vivek Surti of Tailor combined rose and strawberry marshmallow, pistachio crunch, and cardamom and orange blossom caramel in his treat. There were also Goo Goos featuring ruby chocolate, banana cream ganache, black sesame halva nougat and more. How nice it was to have something to look forward to in the otherwise horrifying summer of 2020. MEGAN SELING
