Capstone: Interview

My interview was with a chocolate maker named Livingston. He is the production manager and he answered all of my questions. The interview was in Red Hook, Brooklyn, New York at a chocolate place called Raaka Chocolate. He was really nice and he gave me a bonus, he gave me a private tour of their work place. Normally they just have group tours but since I had an interview with him he gave me a tour after I was done asking all of my questions.

For my interview he answered all of my question, plus more. He gave me some extra fun facts. I went through all of my questions and he answered all of them thoroughly. Livingston gave deep explanations that were really helpful. My way of remembering the interview was by writing the answers down. I didn’t audio record it. I thought it would be easier to just write the answers down, because that is all that we talked about. And since my mom was there, she picked up anything that he said that I didn’t write down.

After the talk, he showed me their whole chocolate factory. It was awesome! I got to see their machines, and I got to taste the chocolate that they were making right then. I got to taste the chocolate as a liquid, straight from the grinder! What I saw was from their bean room (where they crack the bean to the nibs) to the end of the process, where they put the liquid form of the chocolate into the molds to turn into a solid.

Overall, Livingston was really nice and he gave me a lot of information. I really enjoyed going there and I took a bunch of pictures of their work space. And I suggest getting their chocolate because it is DELICIOUS!
