World renowned pastry chef/chocolatier Jacques Torres made a visit to 92Y last night for a talk on chocolate and wine, and Jane Levere from the Huffington Post was present to report all the sweet details. During his talk, Jacques let a few ideas out of the bag that will surely excite New Yorkers. Jane writes that he is considering opening an ice cream store this summer in Brooklyn next to his original store in DUMBO. But it gets better, much better:

“Torres, whose three New York shops already sell ice cream sandwiches during the summer, said ice cream in the proposed store would incorporate chocolate trimmed from candy during the manufacturing process. ‘Imagine ice cream with chocolate and passion fruit, raspberry, peanut butter, banana,’ he said. Torres also said he was exploring the purchase of an ice cream truck. ‘How cool will it be to serve ice cream on a truck in New York City in the summer?’ he asked.”

How cool indeed. And we have a suggestion for the ice cream truck. Perhaps it could incorporate a Twitter or Foursquare account, letting followers know it’s location in New York City throughout the day?
