Right on. Of all the stuff at Swan’s, it’s funny they picked for their list a raw item rather than something like crab louie, cured seafood, or even steamed crab. I seem to remember someone on Chowhound, I think Robert Lauriston, saying they used canned clams for their chowder. They’re one of the few places to get dark bake Boudin bread.

According to Swensen’s Singapore webpage “The famous Sticky Chewy Chocolate flavor was discovered by accident when a mixer unintentionally distorted the recipe!” Any merit? Sounds apocryphal and they don’t say whether it was Swensen’s or another place that “discovered” it!
