OVERKILL Frontman Wants To Sell You His Chocolates
February 12, 2010Vocalist Bobby "Blitz" Ellsworth of New Jersey thrash metal veterans OVERKILL recently spoke to AOL's Noisecreep about the family business he has with his wife — importing fine chocolates for their shop, Chocolaterie.
"We get our chocolates from Bruges in Belgium, which is the chocolate-making capital of the world," Ellsworth told Noisecreep. "My wife works via the net and by telephone with the chocolatiers and says, 'This is what I need, and I need it hand-rolled.' So it's kind of a fun family business."
On his love for fine chocolates, Ellsworth said, "It's something I learned to love by touring and obviously having a Dutch wife who has a passion for chocolate. We love the business. And again it just kind of complements what I've learned through OVERKILL, because I don't think I would have been exposed to [the art of chocolate] on such a high level unless I'd seen things [touring with the band]."
Chocolaterie is located in on 6 South Broadway in Nyack, N.Y. about 30 miles North of Manhattan. "It's nice there," Ellsworth said. "It's almost like a little slice of Greenwich Village kind of town."
Video footage of Ellsworth talking about Chocolaterie can be viewed below.
