Local chocolatier Ginger Elizabeth Hahn is about to get some big-time national exposure. At 10 p.m. Monday, May 10, TLC will air a new show called “Chocolate Wars,” featuring Hahn competing against two leading chocolate artists to create a chocolate sculpture. It’s the latest in the channel’s lineup of culinary adventure programs, in the style of “Ultimate Cake Off.” Hahn was invited to audition and was chosen from a big pool of the best chocolate makers in the country. She calls the experience both “very humbling” and “terribly stressful.” While she’s not allowed to say if she won, she promises a lot of drama. “I felt kind of bad about it,” she says. “It’s not me. But it’s very entertaining. That’s what TV’s all about.”
