Dallas restaurateur Hedda Gioia Dowd grew up in France and fondly recalls her grandmother preparing it for her each morning. Today, she serves a classic chocolat chaud at her restaurant, rise n˚1, and never misses a chance to indulge herself. “It could be 102 degrees out and I still drink hot chocolate. It’s my way of staying in touch with my grandmother.”
