There are so many outages, shortages and price increases in so many of our supplies the last three years that, to a certain extent, the chocolate has fallen to not not important but another one on the list,” said Kat Gordon of Muddy's Bake Shop. (Mark Weber/The Daily Memphian)
“Everything I have been studying tells me that we are definitely going to be, within my lifetime certainly, back in a place that chocolate is something you will have for a very special occasion,” said Muddy’s founder Kat Gordon.
