#6 Chocolat Moderne

Located in New York City, native New Yorker Joan Coukos is the CEO of Chocolat Modern. On a trip to Brussels in 2000, she was mesmerized by their hand made chocolates and began making her own creations in her kitchen in Manhattan. After sharing them with co-workers and receiving rave reviews, she began studying chocolate and confectionery arts and soon founded Chocolat Modern.
