In San Francisco, while on the road promoting my book "Seriously Simple Holidays" (Chronicle Books, $24.95), I stayed at the Mandarin Oriental, where I was lucky enough to dine at its fine restaurant, Silks. I could go on about all of the delicious dishes I sampled, but what really got my attention was a most unusual dessert: a shot glass of ice cold dark German beer (Koestritzer) placed beside a tiny espresso cup of hot chocolate topped -- if you can believe it -- with Snickers-laced whipped cream. This dessert was presented on a small white rectangular platter and was amazing.
