Please come out to Atlanta to show support for local Washington Chef Santosh Tiptur. Chef Santosh will be competing in Chocolatier of the Year at Pastry Live on Sunday-August 25th.
Since its opening in 2008, Co Co. Sala has remained at the forefront of the confectionery-centric culinary scene in Washington D.C. thanks to Executive Pastry Chef Santosh Tiptur. On any given day, Chef Tiptur can be spotted handcrafting one of his famous chocolate and sugar sculptures, many of which can be seen on display throughout Co Co. Sala. He takes pride in creating everything from scratch such as bread for the savory dishes, garnishes and bases for the cocktails, or gourmet marshmallows for the hot chocolate, amongst other specialty items.
Co Co. Sala has given Chef Tiptur the opportunity to expand his chocolate arts, honing his craft to develop the new and unique, including the five-course dessert tastings, chocolate enrobed bacon, S’mores French Toast, fiery Chipotle Chocolate Soufflé, and over 75 different chocolate retail items. As a devoted husband and father of two, he often gives demos and speaks at his children’s schools about chocolate & pastry arts.
