"I want Chocolati to be known as a place where people can get good chocolates and savor a nice cup of hot chocolate drink," says Christian Wong, chief chocolate officer of Chocolati. Like any chocolatier worth his cocoa, the man some have playfully dubbed "Mr. Wong-ka" constantly busies himself with putting his money where your mouth is. What began as a small business with only a few employees, Chocolati is now a growing concern with a staff of 28 and four Seattle locations and another one planned to open in April 2006.
