    BOSTON, MA, August 26, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Langham, Boston will reconvene its celebration of chocolate when the Chocolate Bar begins its 23rd season on Saturday, September 10. The Langham's Executive Pastry Chef Jed Hackney has created a menu entitled Chocolate Intensity, utilizing cuisine consisting of varying percentages of cocoa.
