The man behind Lindt's expansion into the US has passed away. It's easy to dismiss Lindt in light of other companies like Vosges, but they really raised the bar for chocolate in this country.

Also, for anyone who has ignored Lindt for years, they've done some amazing stuff recently, coming out with bars filled with things like creme brulée (even with bits of burnt sugar!) and pears that are delectable.
