Toothsome Marks National Chocolate Day With Four Limited-Time Specials at Universal CityWalk

Overview

• The Universal Orlando venue is serving a limited-time National Chocolate Day lineup at CityWalk featuring both savory and sweet creations.
• The four items are Cocoa Chili Diver Scallops, Chocolate Pomegranate Barbecue Pork Porterhouse, Chocolate Beef Bourguignon, and a 7 Layer Chocolate Decadence Cake.
• Unconventional pairings include chocolate-covered bacon, a chocolate stout balsamic marinade, and cocoa chili pork chicharrones.
